Goalie Jonas Hiller has fully recovered from an appendicitis attack in July, according to Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving.
"“I talked to him the other day and he’s back, 100 percent, skating, working out. He’s been back in his routine, fully functional and no issues.” – Treliving in an interview with the Calgary Herald."
Hiller suffered the attack while training in his native Switzerland this offseason.
After seven seasons with the Anaheim Ducks, Hiller signed a two-year, $4.5 million deal with the Flames this summer. Hiller is expected to compete with Karri Ramo for starting duties in between the pipes.
