The Calgary Flames will welcome the rugged Micheal Ferland back to the lineup against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.

The tenacious 23-year-old will draw back in after being out since Oct. 23 with a sprained MCL, head coach Bob Hartley confirmed.

Ferland is expected to see time on the club's fourth line along with Derek Grant and Josh Jooris.

Ferland has one assist and 24 hits in seven games this season.
