CALGARY — Calgary Flames forward Justin Kirkland will miss the remainder of the NHL season after undergoing surgery to repair an anterior cruciate ligament, the team announced Wednesday.

Kirkland was injured in Calgary’s 5-2 loss at Columbus on Friday.

He left the game in the first period after logging 1:05 of ice time.

Kirkland had two goals and six assists in 21 games this season.

He is the second Flame to sustain a season-ending ACL injury after forward Anthony Mantha three weeks ago.
