After playing just three games since returning from suspension, Dennis Wideman's season is over due to injury.

The Calgary Flames defenseman will miss his team's final 12 games after suffering a tear in his triceps during Wednesday's game against the Winnipeg Jets, the team announced Friday.

The 32-year-old was injured in a collision with teammate Joe Colborne following a first-period goal from Michael Frolik.

General manager Brad Treliving said he was unsure if the defenseman would require surgery, according to Wes Gilbertson of Postmedia.

Wideman returned to the Flames' lineup on March 11 after being suspended 20 games as a result of his collision with linesman Don Henderson. His suspension was appealed, and ultimately reduced to 10 games, after the blue-liner had already sat out for 19.
