Rasmus Andersson Out Against Kings

Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson (rest) will miss Thursday's finale against the Kings, ending his 100 percent appearance record in 2024-25. The year was a mixed bag for Andersson, as he matched his career high with 11 goals but finished with 31 points, his lowest total in four seasons. He is also set to finish with one of the league's worst plus/minus ratings, having gone minus-38 over 81 games. The Flames defense will also miss Jake Bean (rest) and Joel Hanley (rest) on Thursday, allowing Zayne Parekh and Hunter Brzustewicz to get their first taste of NHL action.

Jonathan Huberdeau Sits Out Regular-Season Finale

Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau (rest) is expected to miss Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Kings. The Flames have nothing left to play for, and some players, including Huberdeau, will be held out of the lineup for rest purposes. Following a couple of disappointing 50-point campaigns, Huberdeau improved in 2024-25, finishing the year with 62 points (28 goals, 34 assists) in 81 games. However, he still needs to do much more to justify his eight-year, $84 million contract, the largest in franchise history. With Huberdeau out on Thursday, Aydar Suniev is set to make his NHL debut on the first line.

Dustin Wolf Stands Tall On Sunday

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf stopped 28 of the 30 shots he saw en route to defeating the San Jose Sharks on Sunday evening. The Flames needed to win this game to remain in playoff contention, and Wolf was able to remain strong. The Sharks opened the scoring in the first period when Tyler Toffoli beat Wolf on a wrist shot. His other blemish came in the second when Jan Rutta scored his third goal of the campaign. Wolf has played a lead role in Calgary's late-season playoff push. He has posted a strong 4-0-2 record over his last six games. During this stretch, the 23-year-old netminder has held a 2.30 GAA with a .914 save percentage. Wolf will have a tough task in his next start against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, but remains a strong play given his recent stretch of performances.

Dustin Wolf Earns Victory On Friday

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf stopped 16 of the 18 shots he saw en route to defeating the Minnesota Wild on Friday evening. He was not tested often in this game but was able to pick up the victory. The Flames dominated the shot total in this contest. Wolf carried a shutout into the third frame, but the Wild were able to score twice, both during 5-on-5 play. Over his last five contests, Wolf has held a 3-0-2 record with a solid 2.36 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Over this stretch, he has allowed two goals or fewer in three contests. Through 51 games this season, Wolf has enjoyed a strong rookie campaign and has kept Calgary in the Wild Card race. He has posted an overall 27-16-8 with a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage.

Morgan Frost Good To Go Against Wild

Calgary Flames center Morgan Frost (undisclosed) will play on Friday against the Minnesota Wild. The 25-year-old failed to finish Wednesday's matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, leaving the action after logging only 9:40 of ice time. Fortunately for the Flames, Frost will not have to miss additional time. Frost is projected to work on the third line, where Joel Farabee and Yegor Sharangovich will join him. His adaptation to his new team has been challenging; since joining the Flames from the Philadelphia Flyers in January, Frost has managed just nine points (two goals, seven assists) across 28 games.

Matthew Coronato Scores In Second Straight Game

Calgary Flames left wing Matthew Coronato found the back of the net in his second-straight contest on Monday evening. Coronato would find the back of the net in the third period to extend the Calgary lead to two goals over the San Jose Sharks. This goal would eventually serve as the game-winner. Over these previous two games, Coronato has logged five total shots on goal. However, before this recent scoring surge, Coronato was riding a five-game scoreless streak. During that skid, he logged just 10 total shots on goal and held a -5 rating. Through a career-high 72 games this season, the 22-year-old has scored 22 goals and added 19 helpers, with 14 of his total points coming on the power play. He will look to extend his scoring streak to three games against the Ducks on Wednesday evening.

Dustin Wolf Snaps Skid On Thursday

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf snapped his three-game losing skid on Thursday evening when he stopped 26 of the 27 shots he saw en route to defeating the Anaheim Ducks. Wolf held a high 2.99 GAA with a modest .878 save percentage during his three-game skid. In Thursday's game, his lone blemish came in the opening frame when Owen Zellweger scored his seventh goal of the season. After enjoying an impressive stretch through December and January, Wolf took a step back in February and March, holding a 2.97 GAA with a .894 save percentage with a 5-7-4 record over this stretch. However, as a rookie, Wolf has been very productive at times and could be turning the corner just in time for the stretch run. Fantasy managers should expect him to remain in the starter's crease for most of the remainder of the regular season.

Adam Klapka • RW • Flames

Adam Klapka Tallies Two Points In Shootout Victory

Calgary Flames right wing Adam Klapka tallied a goal and an assist during their 3-2 shootout victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Monday evening. Klapka tallied both of his points in the final frame. He first added the primary helper on Ryan Lomberg's second goal of the season. Klapka would then find the back of the net to force overtime. Since being recalled from the AHL on March 14, Klapka has tallied three points across nine contests. During this stretch, he logged 32 hits with 12 penalty minutes and held a -3 rating. Through 22 total games this season at the NHL level, the 24-year-old has tallied just four points, but added an impressive 76 hits. He is a name to monitor in deeper category leagues given his ability to tally a high number of hits.

Connor Zary Out Week-To-Week

Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary (knee) has been listed as week-to-week. He suffered a nasty-looking knee injury in Thursday's clash against the Dallas Stars, with many fearing the worst. However, it seems that Zary could still return to action this season. Zary has amassed 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) in 54 games during his sophomore campaign. Calgary will insert Yegor Sharangovich into the lineup as Zary's replacement on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers. The Russian forward has not been productive enough to please fantasy managers this season, recording 12 goals and 24 points in 62 outings.

Connor Zary Departs Thursday's Game Early

Calgary Flames center Connor Zary (knee) departed Thursday's contest early. Zary collided with Dallas winger Mikko Rantanen in the final frame. He was in pain before exiting the contest. Zary missed time earlier in the season with a knee injury as well and could be facing another extended absence. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday evening against the Edmonton Oilers. If Zary were to miss time, Yegor Sharangovich will likely re-join the starting nine. Over his previous five contests, Zary has tallied three points (one goal) with 15 shots on goal. Through 54 games this season, Zary has found the back of the net 13 times and added 14 helpers. Sharangovich could have value in deeper formats if he takes Zary's place on the top forward line.

Mikael Backlund • C • Flames

Mikael Backlund Ready To Return Thursday

Calgary Flames center Mikael Backlund (upper body) will jump back into action on Thursday against the Dallas Stars. He has recovered from an upper-body injury, which sidelined Backlund for six games. The Swedish veteran will resume his role as the third-line center, bumping Yegor Sharangovich out of the lineup. Backlund found the back of the net against the Stars in a 3-2 overtime loss earlier this month, but he has not been a consistent scorer in 2024-25. Across 64 outings, he has managed 11 goals and 24 points. If Backlund does not improve his scoring rate during the final stretch of the season, he will finish with fewer than 30 points for the first time since 2014-15.

Rasmus Andersson Good To Go Against Stars

Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson will be available against the Dallas Stars on Thursday night. He missed the morning skate, but Flames head coach Ryan Huska has confirmed that Andersson will play. Although Andersson has struggled for much of the season, he should feel confident heading into Thursday's matchup. Over his last seven appearances, he has scored two goals and provided five assists. This scoring surge has brought Andersson to a total of 10 goals and 28 points for the season, having played 70 games. The Swedish rearguard averages over 24 minutes of ice time per game and is expected to have another busy night against one of the top teams in the league.

Mikael Backlund Out On Tuesday

Calgary Flames center Mikael Backlund (upper body) is set to miss a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. The Flames captain has resumed skating, but Tuesday's game comes too soon for him to be ready to return to the lineup. Backlund's next opportunity to return will be on Thursday when the Dallas Stars come to town. Yegor Sharangovich has operated as the third-line center during Backlund's absence. He has struggled offensively since the 4 Nations break, posting one goal and one assist in 13 games.

Joel Farabee Good To Go Against Kraken

Calgary Flames winger Joel Farabee (illness) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. The 25-year-old sat out Saturday's action against the New York Islanders due to an illness. However, he returned to the ice for Monday's practice, and Flames head coach Ryan Huska told reporters that Farabee was good to go for Tuesday night. Huska will utilize Farabee on the third line and the second power-play unit. Farabee's life has been tough in Canada since his move from the Philadelphia Flyers. He has made 18 appearances with the Flames, scoring three goals and handing out two assists.

MacKenzie Weegar Officially Cleared To Play Tuesday

Calgary Flames defenseman MacKenzie Weegar (lower body) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. He was unavailable for Saturday's matchup with the New York Islanders. However, it was expected that he would make a quick return to the lineup, and Flames head coach Ryan Huska has confirmed that Weegar will play against the Kraken. Saturday's game marked Weegar's first absence of the season. Thanks to a strong second half of the season, Weegar has a chance to record his second consecutive 50-point campaign. He has notched 41 points (seven goals, 34 assists) in 68 outings.

Rasmus Andersson Sends Out Three Assists In Saturday's Win

Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson registered his second three-point game of the season as the team took down the New York Islanders 4-3 in overtime Saturday night. Andersson scored all of his points with assists, helping Matt Coronato, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Nazem Kadri light the lamp. Following the 4 Nations break, Andersson went eight games without any points, but he has since found some form. Over his last six appearances, Andersson has averaged a point per game. However, it has been a tough campaign overall for Andersson, who has settled for 27 points (nine goals, 18 assists) in 69 games while recording a minus-25 rating.

MacKenzie Weegar Expected To Be Fine For Tuesday

Calgary Flames defenseman MacKenzie Weegar (lower body) is likely to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. Weegar was a late scratch for Saturday's contest against the New York Islanders due to a lower-body injury. However, Flames head coach Ryan Huska told reporters postgame that he expects to see Weegar back in action against Seattle. Brayden Pachal played instead of Weegar on Saturday and is likely to head back to the press box on Tuesday. Weegar has enjoyed a good campaign with the Flames, sitting only a couple of assists shy of matching his career high. He has managed 41 points (seven goals, 34 assists) in 68 games. Additionally, the Flames defenseman is 11 away from reaching 200 hits for the campaign and has recorded 157 blocks.

Nazem Kadri Scores Goal, Adds Helper In Victory

Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri tallied two points during their 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday evening. Kadri would do all of his damage in the opening frame. Kadri would find the back of the net on a wrist shot to tie the contest. Later in the frame, Kadri would tally the primary helper on Matt Coronato's eventual game-winning power-play goal. This outing snapped a two-game scoreless streak. Over his previous eight games, the 34-year-old has tallied seven points (four goals), with three of his points coming on the power play. Through 67 total games this season, Kadri has scored 24 goals and added 26 helpers while averaging 3.3 shots on goal per game. He will look to stay hot on Thursday against the New Jersey Devils.

Dustin Wolf Faces Maple Leafs Monday

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will take on Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday. The impressive rookie will attempt to bounce back from two consecutive defeats. In his last outing, Wolf was defeated 4-2 by the Colorado Avalanche, and he also suffered a 4-3 shootout loss to the Vancouver Canucks last week. Wolf has posted a record of 22-13-5 with three shutouts, while his goals-against average is at 2.54 and his save percentage at .914. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a good campaign but appears to be struggling at the moment and will not be a good fantasy option for Monday. Toronto has already lit up Wolf once in 2024-25, as the young netminder coughed up five goals on 29 shots in a 6-3 loss on Feb. 4.

Dustin Wolf Set To Face Avalanche Friday

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will be between the sticks for Friday's tough matchup against the Colorado Avalanche. He will make his 40th start of the campaign as the Flames welcome the NHL's sixth-highest scoring team to town. After winning only one decision in February, Wolf has returned to form this month, posting a 2-0-2 record with 1.93 goals-against average, a .933 save percentage, and one shutout. The rookie netminder boasts three shutouts for the season and has impressed with a 22-12-5 record. Wolf has given up 2.53 goals in 2024-25 with a .915 save percentage. Colorado's talented offense will present a major challenge for Wolf on Friday night, but he can draw confidence from his 15-6-3 home record.
