Francis, playing on the team's fourth line, was held pointless in the Heat's 1-0 overtime loss to the Tucson Roadrunners. Former Moncton Wildcat Jakob Pelletier also made his AHL debut in the game.
Francis remains with the Heat on a professional tryout. He still has not been signed to an entry-level deal by the Calgary Flames.
A couple AHL notes on #Flames prospects:
— Ryan Pike (@RyanNPike) October 15, 2021
-G Daniil Chechelev is under AHL contract for 2021-22.
-F Ryan Francis is under an AHL PTO (pro try-out), which can last up to 25 AHL games. He's eligible to go back to the QMJHL as an overager.
The Sea Dogs remain optimistic that Francis, an overager, will return to the club at some point.
19-year-old defenseman Yan Kuznetsov, Saint John's first-round pick in this year's CHL Import Draft, also played Friday for the Heat.
The Heat and Roadrunners play again on Saturday night in Stockton.
In other action Friday, former Sea Dogs forward Maxim Cajkovic scored his first AHL goal in his first AHL game. Cajkovic also had an assist and was named the game's first star in the Syracuse Crunch's 6-4 win over the Cleveland Monsters.

Joe Veleno, meanwhile, scored his first goal of the season in the Grand Rapids Griffins' 6-1 victory over the Rockford IceHogs.
