Dustin Wolf Takes On Prolific Panthers Saturday

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will be the team's starter between the sticks on Saturday versus the reigning Stanley Cup champions in the Florida Panthers. He will log his 15th start of the campaign with Dan Vladar (lower body) absent from the lineup. Devin Cooley will dress as Wolf's backup. Wolf has had a good rookie season, but he's gone cold in recent weeks, dropping three consecutive starts while allowing 14 goals. He has an 8-5-1 record for the year with a 2.84 goals-against average, a .909 save percentage, and one shutout. To return to winning ways, Wolf must stop the league's fifth-ranked offense. Florida averages 3.53 goals per game.

Andrei Kuzmenko Will Not Play On Saturday

Calgary Flames winger Andrei Kuzmenko (lower body) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Florida, with the team considering him day-to-day. Kuzmenko recently had a two-game spell as a healthy scratch and is now forced to miss some action because of a lower-body injury. The Russian forward averaged nearly a point per game with the Flames last season but has been far from replicating the form in 2024-25. In 28 outings, Kuzmenko has scored only one goal while delivering nine assists. Jakob Pelletier is expected to grab Kuzmenko's spot on the third line for Saturday's game. The 23-year-old has notched two points (one goal, one assist) in four games since making his season debut earlier in the month,

Dan Vladar Considered Day-To-Day

Calgary Flames goaltender Dan Vladar (lower body) is considered day-to-day. He didn't practice on Friday and might have already been affected by the injury in Thursday's matchup against Tampa Bay, as Vladar had a torrid time with eight goals allowed on 26 shots. Vladar is sharing starts with Dustin Wolf this season and has gone 6-6-4 with two shutouts. He has allowed 3.08 goals with a .885 save percentage. Devin Cooley has been brought up from the minors to fill in for Vladar. He owns a 2-3-1 career record in the NHL.

Dustin Wolf Looks To Return To Winning Ways Versus Stars

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will attempt to end a two-game losing streak in Sunday's matchup against Dallas. Following an impressive 5-0-1 run, Wolf has allowed four goals in back-to-back games, taking a pair of beating from Ottawa and Columbus. He has yet to lose three starts on the trot this season. Wolf's consistency has given him an 8-4-1 record with a 2.60 goals-against average, a .919 save percentage, and one shutout. However, to get back to winning ways on Sunday, Wolf has to outplay Jake Oettinger, whose work has helped the Stars to a 10-2-0 home record and who's tied for the second-most wins in the league (13).

Justin Kirkland Has Season-Ending Knee Surgery

Calgary Flames center Justin Kirkland underwent successful ACL surgery on Wednesday and will be out for the rest of the season. He sustained the injury last week in a game against Columbus and has been out for two contests. Kirkland finishes the season with eight points (two goals, six assists) in 21 games. Kirkland's absence gave Jakob Pelletier a fourth-line role in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Columbus. The 23-year-old has been a productive player on the AHL stage, but things haven't yet clicked for him in the big league. This season, Pelletier has amassed 19 points (three goals, 16 assists) in 20 outings in the minors.

Dan Vladar Cools Down Blue Jackets

Calgary Flames goaltender Dan Vladar registered his second shutout of the season on Tuesday in a 3-0 win against Columbus. The Blue Jackets headed to Calgary after scoring at least four goals in six consecutive games, but they tested Vladar just 16 times and ended up without a goal for the first time in 2024-25. Vladar improved to 5-5-3 for the season. He has allowed 2.66 goals with a .904 save percentage. The Czech netminder continues to share the workload with Dustin Wolf, and both have done well. They have recorded a combined save percentage of .911, tying for seventh-best among all teams in the league.

Justin Kirkland Unavailable Saturday

Calgary Flames center Justin Kirkland (lower body) will miss Saturday's meeting with Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old suffered a lower-body injury in Friday's 5-2 defeat against Columbus. Kirkland has found decent success as a fourth-line forward, producing two goals and six assists in 21 appearances while delivering 45 hits. Adam Klapka, who is scoreless through five outings this season, will take over from Kirkland on Saturday. The Czech winger last saw action over a month ago, logging 9:15 of ice time in a 5-3 loss to Winnipeg on Oct. 26.

MacKenzie Weegar Notches Three Assists Against Rangers

Calgary Flames defenseman MacKenzie Weegar played his part in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers with three assists. Weegar set up one power-play goal and two even-strength tallies as Calgary improved to 8-3-0 on home ice. The 30-year-old blue-liner led all skaters with seven shots on goal. Since starting the campaign with goals in back-to-back games, Weegar has lit the lamp just one more time, adding eight assists in 20 appearances. He's on 56 shots, 48 blocks, and 51 hits. Weegar's scoring pace has dropped compared to 2023-24, but his all-around ability keeps his fantasy stock high.

Dustin Wolf Stops Predators From Scoring

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf was impeccable in his work against Nashville on Friday, recording his first career shutout with 29 saves in a 2-0 win. After finishing last month with a couple of bad defeats, Wolf has quickly heated up again, going 3-0-1 in his four November starts. He carries a 6-2-1 record for the season and has allowed 2.53 goals with a .921 save percentage. Wolf has started to see more action compared to Dan Vladar and could end up having a special campaign if he keeps up his recent form. The 23-year-old is set to face the Islanders next in a tricky matchup against a team that has scored three-plus goals in five consecutive games.

Dustin Wolf Cools Off Kings Monday

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf produced 28 saves in Monday's 3-1 victory over the L.A. Kings. The Kings had scored multiple goals in nine straight games before running into Wolf, who improved to 5-2-1 for the year. He's gone three starts without a regulation defeat, logging a 2.84 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage in eight appearances. Wolf endured a couple of rough nights at the end of last month but has bounced back in style. His next start will likely come on Friday versus the struggling Predators. Dan Vladar should be between the sticks for Tuesday's matchup against Vancouver.

Anthony Mantha To Undergo Season-Ending Knee Surgery

Calgary Flames right wing Anthony Mantha (knee) will miss the rest of the season. The team announced on Monday that Mantha is set to have an ACL surgery this week. Mantha joined the Flames as a free agent on a one-year deal in the summer and looked promising through his first outings with the team. In 13 appearances, Mantha amassed four goals and three assists with 16 hits and a plus-six rating. He was injured on Nov. 5 against Montreal. Kevin Rooney has replaced Mantha in the lineup. He scored his first goal of the campaign in Monday's 3-1 win over Los Angeles, but Rooney has a limited role on the team and doesn't provide value for fantasy managers.

Anthony Mantha Headed To Injured Reserve

Calgary Flames winger Anthony Mantha (lower body) was placed on IR on Thursday after suffering a lower-body injury in the first period of Tuesday's game against the Montreal Canadiens. Mantha will be out for at least the next three games while on IR. It is unfortunate timing for the 30-year-old, who seemed to be finding his footing in Calgary with three points in three games before Tuesday's affair. If the injury isn't significant, the winger should be able to come close or beat the 44 points he put up last year with Vegas and Washington.

Anthony Mantha Suffers A Lower-Body Injury

Calgary Flames right wing Anthony Mantha had his night cut short by a lower-body injury on Tuesday versus Montreal. Mantha was limited to 5:06 of ice time. The 30-year-old entered Tuesday's game with a three-game point streak. He has tallied four goals and seven points in 13 appearances while registering a team-high plus-six rating. Mantha has been an effective player for the Flames and will definitely be missed if he has to sit out additional time. Matt Coronato, who scored twice in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win, could land in a top-six role if Mantha is unavailable on Thursday versus Boston. Kevin Rooney would likely fill the gap in the lineup.

Dan Vladar Set For Second Consecutive Start Sunday

Calgary Flames goaltender Dan Vladar will make a second consecutive start on Sunday versus Edmonton. The Flames have thus far rotated their goalies this season, but the pattern will be broken in Sunday's Battle of Alberta. It's fair to say Vladar has probably earned a second consecutive start as well after posting a shutout against a quality Devils team last time out. He sits on a 3-2-1 record for the campaign and has allowed 2.65 goals with a .909 save percentage. Vladar has already beaten the Oilers once in 2024-25, stopping 25 pucks in a 4-1 victory on Oct. 13. Edmonton has struggled for goals all year and visits Calgary without Connor McDavid (ankle), boosting Vladar's chances of success in the matchup.

Dan Vladar Shuts Out Devils Friday Night

Calgary Flames goaltender Dan Vladar registered a 22-save shutout in Friday's 3-0 victory over New Jersey. He picked up his first shutout of the year, bouncing back from three consecutive losses. The recent losing spell has left a stain on Vladar's record, but he's done well this season, going 3-2-1 with a 2.65 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. Calgary continues to rotate the goalies, meaning we will likely see Dustin Wolf in Sunday's Battle of Alberta. Vladar will return to work on Monday in a good matchup against the 4-6-1 Canadiens.

Samuel Honzek Available On Wednesday

Calgary Flames left wing Samuel Honzek (upper body) was activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It looks like the young winger is ready to rejoin the lineup versus Utah. He has been out for five games with an upper-body injury. Honzek saw usage on the first line at the start of the campaign, but he has yet to score any points in four appearances. The 21-year-old is projected to rejoin the lineup as a member of the third line. It's a lesser role for Honzek, but his new linemates, Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman, have also proven to be productive. The two have combined for nine points this season.

Yegor Sharangovich Ready For Season Debut

Calgary Flames forward Yegor Sharangovich (lower body) is on track to enter the lineup on Saturday versus Winnipeg. He's set to make his season debut after Calgary activated Sharangovich from Injured Reserve. The 26-year-old only just missed out on a 60-point campaign last term and will add some extra oomph to the Flames' attack. Sharangovich will likely land a middle-six role in the lineup and should also log power-play time. He had a team-high 31 goals with 28 assists in 82 outings last season. However, Sharangovich mustered only one point in three appearances versus Winnipeg.

Samuel Honzek Considered Week-To-Week With An Upper-Body Injury

Calgary Flames left wing Samuel Honzek will be out week-to-week with an upper-body injury. He got hurt on Tuesday versus Chicago, and unfortunately, it looks like the rookie winger will have to sit out multiple games. Despite skating on the first line and seeing power-play time, Honzek has gone scoreless in his first four NHL appearances, producing six shots on goal. He earned himself a top-six job by scoring seven points (one goal, six assists) in four preseason games. The Flames return to action on Saturday versus Seattle, with Matt Coronato expected to replace Honzek on the first line.

Dustin Wolf Bags Another Victory On Tuesday

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf made it two wins in two starts to begin the year on Tuesday, stopping 31 of 32 shots in a 3-1 victory over Chicago. Wolf, who started the campaign with a 6-3 triumph versus Philadelphia, was only beaten by Nick Foligno late in the first period on Tuesday. Despite seeing action in just two games, Wolf has already produced 68 saves. He carries a perfect 2-0-0 record with a 2.02 goals-against average and a .944 save percentage. Dan Vladar is also 2-0-0 through the first few games of the season but has given up six goals with a .880 save percentage. The Flames are currently alternating starts between the goalies, but it might not take long until Wolf runs away with the starter's job.

Rasmus Andersson Notches Three Points In Sunday's Win

Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson was the driving force behind Sunday's 4-1 victory over Edmonton, scoring the team's first goal and dishing out two assists. He led the team in ice time with 24:58 and finished with an outstanding plus-four rating while logging two shots, three blocks, and one hit. Calgary has been an early-season surprise package, winning all three games so far and scoring goals for fun. It's helped Andersson to have a superb start to the campaign. He is tied for the scoring lead among defensemen with five points (two goals, three assists) and also tops the league with a plus-six rating, along with Vegas' Brayden McNabb.
