DeSimone produced an help in Saturday’s 5-4 shootout loss to the Islanders.

DeSimone snapped a four-game level drought with the helper. The 28-year-old has fared properly in restricted minutes, racking up 4 assists, six pictures on web, six blocked pictures, 5 hits and a good plus-minus ranking over seven appearances since he changed Jordan Oesterle on the roster. DeSimone is unlikely to see greater than a third-pairing function given the expertise on the Flames’ blue line.
