Travis Hamonic is on the verge of returning to the Calgary Flames' lineup.
The Flames activated the defenseman off injured reserve, the club announced Thursday.
He suffered a facial fracture as a result of his opening-night fight with Vancouver Canucks blue-liner Erik Gudbranson.
Hamonic ranked fourth on the Flames in average ice time last season, logging more than 20 minutes per game.
