The Flames have confirmed that Dube is currently under the care of medical health professionals and requested everyone to respect his privacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 25-year-old, who is now in his sixth season with the Flames, has seen a sharp decline in his offensive performance, resulting in him being benched during multiple games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"flames-forward-dube-goes-on-indefinite-break\"><strong>Flames Forward Dube Goes on Indefinite Break&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Flames made the announcement via a short statement on X on January 21, following Dube\u2019s absence in their Saturday match at the Saddledome against the Edmonton Oilers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Alw1REKhNK\">pic.twitter.com\/Alw1REKhNK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHLFlames\/status\/1749129798801346711?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 21, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Head coach <strong>Ryan Huska<\/strong> told reporters before the start of the game that Dube was not feeling well and would not be playing.

But so far this season, he\u2019s been struggling to come close to that output, <strong>only scoring three goals and four assists in 43 games<\/strong>. Dube has been receiving criticism for his lackluster performance, but many of his critics have apologized after learning that he is struggling with mental health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, as Dube takes a leave of absence from the Flames, Swedish defenceman <strong>Oliver Kylington<\/strong> rejoins the club after completing his conditioning stint with the team\u2019s AHL affiliate, the <a href=\"https:\/\/calgarywranglers.com\">Calgary Wranglers<\/a>. He is expected to join the Flames\u2019 training camp starting this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kylington, who posted career-highs in points with the Flames in 2021-22, didn\u2019t play with the team during the entire 2022-23 season as he stayed in Sweden to attend to his mental health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dustin-wolf-returns-to-ahls-wranglers\"><strong>Dustin Wolf Returns to AHL\u2019s Wranglers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Flames\u2019 active roster has further dropped to 22 players after recently assigning goaltender <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wolfie2332\/\">Dustin Wolf<\/a><\/strong> back to the Wranglers.
