Rasmus Andersson Extends Point Streak With Three Assists

Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson finished Sunday's 5-2 road win over the Vancouver Canucks with three assists. In the process, Andersson extended his point streak to five games. The Swedish blue-liner has overcome a slow start to the season, becoming one of the most productive defensemen in the league recently. Andersson's point streak includes two goals and eight assists. Sunday's performance was his second three-point effort in three games. Following his recent scoring surge, only Nazem Kadri has managed more points than Andersson with the Flames this season. Across 24 games, Andersson has recorded 16 points (five goals, 11 assists), along with 42 blocks.

Samuel Honzek Out for Six Months After Surgery

Calgary Flames left wing Samuel Honzek (upper body) underwent surgery on Thursday and is set to miss six months. This means that Honzek's season is over, unless the Flames make a playoff run. The 21-year-old is expected to make a full recovery from an upper-body injury. Honzek suffered the injury in very unfortunate circumstances, as he was involved in a collision with teammate Mikael Backlund in a loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Nov. 15. After making his first five NHL appearances in 2024-25, Honzek became a regular in the Flames lineup this season, recording four points (two goals, two assists) and 35 hits. Connor Zary has taken over Honzek's spot on the third line, but he has been a non-factor in fantasy hockey this term.

Rasmus Andersson Bags Three Points Wednesday Night

Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson recorded three points in Wednesday's 6-2 road victory over the Buffalo Sabres. The Swedish rearguard scored the game's opening goal and had two assists in the third period to help Calgary turn a tight 2-2 game into a convincing victory. Andersson scored in his second consecutive game and has now managed three goals in his past five outings, along with four assists. Things have finally clicked for him on the attacking end after Andersson collected only five points from his first 17 appearances of the season. Overall, he has registered 12 points (five goals, seven assists), 52 shots, and 39 blocks in 22 games.

Samuel Honzek Out Week-to-Week

Calgary Flames left wing Samuel Honzek (upper body) has been listed as week-to-week. He was hurt in a collision with teammate Mikael Backlund on Saturday against the Winnipeg Jets. In 18 outings, Honzek has recorded four points (two goals, two assists) and 35 hits. His exit from the lineup will likely give a chance to return for Yegor Sharangovich, who has missed a pair of contests as a healthy scratch. While Sharangovich was a 30-goal scorer a couple of years back and flirted with a 60-point campaign, he has been largely ineffective since the start of last season. In 2025-26, Sharangovich has been limited to four points (two goals, two assists) in 16 games.

Samuel Honzek Hurt in Collision With Teammate

Calgary Flames left wing Samuel Honzek (upper body) was forced to exit Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets in the second period. The Jets scored their first goal in bizarre circumstances, as Mark Scheifele took advantage of Honzek's collision with his teammate Mikael Backlund. Honzek had two hits in 7:05 of ice time before his exit. Backlund remained in the game. After 18 appearances, Honzek boasts four points (two goals, two assists) and 35 hits for his rookie campaign. He has been skating on the third line with Backlund and Blake Coleman. Yegor Sharangovich has been a healthy scratch for a couple of games, but may now receive a new opportunity to play because of Honzek's injury.

Zayne Parekh Expected to "Miss a Little Bit of Time"

Calgary Flames defenseman Zayne Parekh (upper body) must spend some time on the sidelines after being hurt in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The defensive talent exited the action in the second period following a hit from Blackhawks forward Nick Foligno. After the game, Flames head coach Ryan Huska told reporters that Parekh will "miss a little bit of time." On Friday, Parekh replaced Kevin Bahl (undisclosed) in the lineup after serving as a healthy scratch in three of four contests. He hasn't been impactful this season, logging only one assist, 11 shots, five blocks, and five hits in 11 outings. Bahl was a game-time decision on Friday and does not appear to be dealing with a serious issue; he could return for Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Wild. If he isn't ready to return, the Flames will likely turn to Jake Bean.

Kevin Bahl a Game-Time Call Friday

Calgary Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Friday's tilt against the Chicago Blackhawks. He missed the morning skate and could now be out of action for the first time this season. Bahl leads the struggling Flames with a plus-six rating, but his offensive contributions have been limited to one goal and two assists in 15 games. On the defensive end, he has recorded 23 blocks and 13 hits. Zayne Parekh, who has been a regular healthy scratch recently, will likely come into the lineup if Bahl can't play. Although Parekh is a highly rated youngster, he has been experiencing growing pains this season and is currently not a good fantasy option.

Jonathan Huberdeau Guns Down Flyers

Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau provided both goals in Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. He scored with his only two shots on goal, netting early in the second and third periods. Huberdeau's time in Calgary has been difficult, but he currently boasts one of his best point streaks as a Flame. He has managed at least one point in five consecutive outings, which marks his second-longest scoring run with the Flames. Last season, Huberdeau put together a pair of six-game streaks. Through nine appearances, Huberdeau has posted seven points (four goals, three assists) this season. The team has begun to recover from a poor start, helping several players, including Huberdeau, to improve their productivity.

Jonathan Huberdeau Set for Season Debut Saturday

Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau (undisclosed) was activated from Injured Reserve on Friday and is poised to make his season debut in Saturday's contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. In a corresponding move, the Flames reassigned Matvei Gridin to the AHL. During Friday's practice, Huberdeau skated on the first line alongside Nazem Kadri and Joel Farabee. He is also expected to join the first power-play unit if he plays against Vegas. Although Huberdeau's time in Calgary has been difficult, he showed signs of life last term, scoring 28 goals and 62 points in 81 outings.

Martin Pospisil Placed on Injured Reserve

Calgary Flames forward Martin Pospisil (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday, making him ineligible for the start of the season. The Flame begin their campaign on Wednesday night against the Edmonton Oilers. Pospisil was injured in a preseason contest against the Vancouver Canucks on Oct. 1. He was able to practice the next day but was hurt during the session. Calgary will also be without Jonathan Huberdeau (undisclosed) on Wednesday. As a result of the absences, Joel Farabee is expected to begin the season on the first line, and Matvei Gridin is also set to receive a big opportunity in a top-six role.

Jonathan Huberdeau Begins Season on Injured Reserve

Calgary Flames left wing Jonathan Huberdeau (undisclosed) has been placed on Injured Reserve ahead of Wednesday's season opener against the Edmonton Oilers. This makes him unavailable for the game. However, Huberdeau is eligible to return to the lineup for Thursday's clash with the Vancouver Canucks. Huberdeau is nursing an undisclosed injury after colliding with Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen in a preseason game. Huberdeau's absence is set to give Joel Farabee a first-line role on opening night. Farabee struggled massively last season but has seen offensive success in the league. Only two seasons ago, Farabee had 22 goals and 50 points with the Philadelphia Flyers.

Jonathan Huberdeau Remains Under Evaluation

Calgary Flames left wing Jonathan Huberdeau (undisclosed) is still being evaluated after getting hurt in Wednesday's preseason game against the Vancouver Canucks, general manager Craig Conroy told reporters on Thursday. Huberdeau was injured late in the game when he collided with Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen. Losing Huberdeau long-term would be an unexpected blow for the Flames, as the 32-year-old has missed only a handful of games over the past four seasons. He was available for 81 contests last season, posting 62 points (28 goals, 34 assists). Connor Zary may start the campaign as a member of the top six if Huberdeau isn't available for opening night. The Flames kick off the year with the Battle of Alberta against the Edmonton Oilers on Oct. 8.

Matt Coronato • RW • Flames

Matthew Coronato Expected to Make a Big Impact This Season

Calgary Flames right wing Matthew Coronato is expected to have a big sophomore campaign, according to head coach Ryan Huska. "I do think Matt will be anywhere from a 25 to 40-goal guy," Huska said. "Because of his skillset, the way he thinks the game, and the ability he has to shoot the puck, he's going to find himself in those opportunities. I do feel he's going to be a consistent goal scorer for us." Coronato finished his first full NHL season with 24 goals and 47 points in 77 games. The Flames haven't had a 40-goal scorer since Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Tkachuk, and Elias Lindholm all hit that mark in 2021-22.

Mikael Backlund Signs Two-Year Extension

Calgary Flames center Mikael Backlund has signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract extension. His current deal was set to expire in 2026. Backlund has spent his entire 17-year NHL career in Calgary, becoming the team captain in 2023. He has put up 563 points (215 goals, 348 assists) in 1,066 career games. During the last campaign, Backlund contributed 15 goals and 17 assists in 76 appearances. Backlund has been a consistent performer for the Flames for many years, but in recent seasons, he hasn't been productive enough to make a significant impact in fantasy hockey.

Dustin Wolf Signs Seven-Year Extension

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf inked a seven-year contract extension on Tuesday, worth $52.5 million. The deal will begin with the 2026-27 season. Wolf earned the hefty contract following rock-solid play during his rookie year. In 2024-25, he posted a 29-16-8 record, picked up three shutouts, and had a 2.64 goals-against average with a .910 save percentage. Fantasy managers can expect even better numbers from Wolf in the upcoming season, as he feels motivated after not receiving an invitation to the United States' Olympic orientation camp last month. "It just creates fire," Wolf told reporters during the NHL/NHLPA player media tour on Monday. "I've been the guy that's been overlooked so much in my career." At just 24 years old, Wolf is still quite young for a goalie and has the potential to be a significant asset in fantasy hockey for many years to come.

Connor Zary Agrees to Three-Year Deal With Flames

Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary has signed a three-year, $11.325 million contract with the team. He was a restricted free agent. Zary has done a decent job for the Flames, but a knee injury limited him to 54 appearances last season. The 23-year-old scored 14 goals and 27 points. Over the course of his young career, Zary has managed 61 points (27 goals, 34 assists) in 117 contests. Zary aims to secure a regular top-six role this season. This opportunity would not only boost his overall productivity but also enhance his fantasy value.

Zayne Parekh Has Sights Set on Making Flames Roster

Calgary Flames defenseman Zayne Parekh hopes to make the roster for the upcoming campaign and aims to have a "big camp." "I mean, everyone knows that for me, I'm trying to play in the NHL," Parekh told NHL.com. "All my peers know that. I have a great support group and everybody's pushing me every day and I'm pretty hard on myself, too. I'm going to keep working so that in the fall, it's pretty far away, but I've got to have a big camp." Parekh, who won't turn 20 until February, made a scoring debut in the NHL in the 2024-25 regular season finale. The expectations are high for him after becoming the first OHL/OHA defenseman to score at least 30 goals in multiple seasons since Bobby Orr.

Martin Pospisil Signs Three-Year Extension

Calgary Flames forward Martin Pospisil has signed a three-year, $7.5 million contract extension that will start with the 2026-27 season. Pospisil could have become a restricted free agent after the upcoming campaign. Calgary picked Pospisil in the fourth round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, and he has been a regular on the team for the past two seasons. In 2024-25, Pospisil scored 25 points (four goals, 21 assists) in 81 games and tied New York Rangers forward Will Cuylle for the third-most hits in the league with 301. Pospisil's physicality certainly makes him valuable in some fantasy leagues, but he isn't a must-have player.

Morgan Frost Agrees to Two-Year Extension with Flames

Calgary Flames center Morgan Frost is re-upping with the team on a two-year, $8.75 million contract. He became a restricted free agent on July 1 after completing a two-year, $4.2 million deal. Frost joined the Flames in January when the Philadelphia Flyers traded him and Joel Farabee in a deal involving Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier. After registering back-to-back 40-point campaigns, he put up 37 points (14 goals, 23 assists) in 81 appearances. Frost is likely to stay around the 40-point range in 2025-26 as a middle-six forward for Calgary.

Kevin Bahl Signs Long-Term Extension with Flames

Calgary Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl has committed his future to the franchise, agreeing to a six-year, $32.1 million extension. Bahl moved to Calgary a year ago in a trade with the New Jersey Devils and would have become a restricted free agent on July 1. Fantasy managers have seen limited production from Bahl, but he remains a valuable top-four defenseman for the Flames. In the 2024-25 season, he tallied 20 points (three goals, 17 assists), along with 82 shots, 116 blocks, and 109 hits over 73 games.
