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.

Nazem Kadri Tallies Two Goals On Saturday

Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri scored twice in their victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday evening. Kadri tallied his first goal of the night in the second frame on the power-play on a snapshot from the slot. He then would go on to score the empty netter to clinch the victory in the final minute. The 34-year-old has now tallied at least two points in each of the first two games of the campaign. In the season opener he tallied two assists. Kadri has shown great chemistry with his linemates Andrei Kuzmenko and Samuel Honzek both in even strength situations and man-advantage situations and should remain locked into all fantasy lineups.

Dustin Wolf Makes Season Debut Versus Flyers

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will make his first appearance of the season in Saturday's matchup against Philadelphia. The Flames enjoyed a winning start to the campaign on Wednesday with Dan Vladar in the crease, but he wasn't very sharp, giving up five goals on 24 shots. Wolf has built himself a big reputation in the AHL, but things haven't yet clicked for him very well in the big league. The 23-year-old carries a 7-7-1 career record, having allowed 3.16 goals with a .893 save percentage. However, Wolf has won each of his last four NHL starts and catches the Flyers on the second night of a back-to-back, so he looks to be a solid option between the pipes for fantasy managers on Saturday.

Nazem Kadri Registers Two Assists In Wednesday's Win

Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri had two assists as the team shocked the Vancouver Canucks with a comeback in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win. The Flames played out an awful first 20 minutes of the new campaign, falling 4-1 behind, but the team found a way to turn things around. Defensemen Rasmus Andersson and MacKenzie Weegar benefited from Kadri's playmaking, with the latter scoring in a power-play situation. Kadri finished as Calgary's top scorer last season and should enjoy another productive campaign as the top-line center in 2024-25.

Kevin Rooney  • C  •  Flames

Kevin Rooney Exits Early With Injury

Calgary Flames center Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) was injured in Wednesday's season opener against Vancouver. With only seven minutes played in the contest, Rooney took a hard hit from Canucks forward J.T. Miller and exited the game after logging only two shifts as the fourth-line center. The American forward hasn't been very productive offensively in his career and settled for four points (three goals, one assist) in 33 outings last season. Matthew Coronato will have a chance to enter the lineup if Rooney isn't available for Saturday's meeting with Philadelphia.

Yegor Sharangovich  • C  •  Flames

Yegor Sharangovich Placed On Injured Reserve

Calgary Flames forward Yegor Sharangovich (lower body) was placed on the injured reserve on Monday and was deemed week-to-week. The 26-year-old suffered an injury during Friday's preseason game and will now miss at least the first week of the 2024 regular season. As a result, fantasy managers should expect 19-year-old Samuel Honzek to claim the open spot on the top line, as he was seen doing line rushes with them earlier on Monday. Sharangovich enjoyed a breakout campaign last season as he tallied an impressive 31 goals and 59 points, both career-highs. Honzek is worth a look in deeper formats, as he should be given ample opportunities to succeed while Sharangovich is sidelined.

Yegor Sharangovich Suffers Injury On Friday Evening

Calgary Flames forward Yegor Sharangovich (undisclosed) suffered an injury during Friday's preseason finale. Wes Gilbertson of Postmedia reported that the 26-year-old took an awkward fall late into the final period of the game and did not return after. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status ahead of the season opener on Wednesday evening when they face the Vancouver Canucks. The former fifth-round pick performed very well in his Calgary debut last season as he tallied a career-high 31 goals and 59 total points. When he returns to the ice, he should be expected to start on the top line alongside Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko.

Tyson Barrie  • D  •  Flames

Tyson Barrie Inks One-Year Contract With Flames

Defenseman Tyson Barrie has signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with the Calgary Flames. The Flames snapped up Barrie after he spent the training camp with the team on a tryout basis. As an offensive defenseman, Barrie has produced 505 points (109 goals, 396 assists) in 809 career games. However, he's coming off a poor year with the Nashville Predators, which saw Barrie register only one goal and 14 assists in 41 games. The deal could be a steal for Calgary if Barrie finds some of his old magic. He should at least provide some juice to a power play that ranked 26th in the league last season. 210 of Barrie's 505 career points have come with the man advantage.

Kevin Bahl  • D  •  Flames

Kevin Bahl Good To Go On Wednesday

Calgary Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl (lower body) will join the lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against Winnipeg. This will be his first taste of preseason action after entering training camp with a lower-body injury. Bahl is getting ready for his first campaign with the Flames. He moved to Canada from the New Jersey Devils in a trade involving goaltender Jacob Markstrom. The 24-year-old will have a chance to nail down a top-four spot in the Flames defense, but Bahl isn't an attractive fantasy piece. He finished with only 11 points (one goal, 10 assists) last season despite playing in all 82 regular-season games. Jake Bean (lower body) is also expected to play on Wednesday, meaning the Flames blue line is beginning to get healthy for the start of the campaign.
