Pachal picked up by Flames on waivers; Karlsson returns for VGK

VGK players said goodbye to one of their popular teammates Brayden Pachal Sunday after he was picked up on waivers by the Calgary Flames. Bruce Cassidy said he hopes Pachal gets an opportunity for more playing time in Calgary and said it was a "numbers game" that put Pachal on waivers on Saturday. He started with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL and made his way to Henderson and to VGK. Pachal played 17 games on the NHL level. Also announced Sunday, Danil Miromanov suffered a setback and was placed on LTIR. Tuesday night should mark the return of William Karlsson, who missed 13 games before the break. Cassidy said he will know more on Tuesday morning whether Karlsson will be able to get cleared. Cassidy did say Eichel, Theodore, Carrier and Hutton are back skating on their own. And, we look at the February schedule for VGK.
