When Jay Feaster was named Acting General Manager of the Calgary Flames in late December, the team was struggling mightily.
Under Feaster's watch they finished the season 25-11-9, won the Heritage Classic and nearly qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
It appears those results will lead the Flames to name Feaster as their full-time GM, according to reports, as a news conference has been scheduled in Calgary for later Monday.
Feaster came on board last summer, signing a five-year contract as an assistant to then-GM Darryl Sutter. But with the Flames sitting at 16-18-3 on Dec. 28, Sutter stepped down and Feaster, who as GM led the Lightning to their first Stanley Cup championship in 2004, took control of the job on at least an interim basis.
Now it appears the title will become permanent.
