Calgary Flames center Matt Stajan has missed the team's last four games because of one of the greatest tragedies imaginable: he and his wife Katie lost their infant son, Emerson, who died after his birth on Monday.
From the Flames:
Our thoughts and prayers are with Katie and Matt at this difficult time. We appreciate that everyone has and will continue to respect their privacy during this period.
A private memorial service will take place in the ensuing days.
Stajan, 30, will be away from the Flames indefinitely.
