Sep 21, 2023 | 10:23 AM

CALGARY — The Calgary Flames say defenceman Oliver Kylington was deemed unable to take part in the opening of training camp on Thursday.

The determination was made following the team’s medical and fitness testing on Wednesday. No other details were release as the Flames called the situation a private and personal matter. 

Kylington, 26, did not play last season due to an undisclosed personal issue.

The native of Stockholm, Sweden has played 168 games over parts of five seasons with the Flames and has tallied 47 points (14 goals and 33 assists). 

He enjoyed a breakout season during the 2021-22 campaign when he scored nine goals and 22 assists in 73 games.
