Calgary Flames forward Jiri Hudler's playing time with Czech-based KHL franchise HC Lev Praha is over.
Hudler, 28, reportedly suffered an abdominal and groin injury while playing overseas and Lev is rumored to have already terminated his contract.
Speculation suggests that Lev has asked for the service of Flames teammate Roman Cervenka to replace him in the lineup.
Hudler signed a four-year, $16 million contract with the Flames as an unrestricted free agent after a career-high 25-goal season with the Detroit Red Wings.
