• Flames' Martin Pospisil: Snaps 19-game goal drought

  19H ago • By RotoWire

  Pospisil scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over the Wild. Pospisil put the Flames up 2-1 on the power play late in the second period when he redirected Nazem Kadri's slap pass past Filip Gustavsson's outstretched pad. The 25-year-old Pospisil ended his 19-game goal drought with his second tally of 2024-25. It's been a productive week for him, as he also snapped a 15-game point slump with an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders. Pospisil isn't as good as his three-game, five-point streak to start the season, but he's not as bad as his recent struggles. Wait to see what Pospisil can do over the next week before considering him as a waiver-wire option.

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Pospisil notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders. Pospisil endured a rough month, going 15 games without a point before getting on the scoresheet Tuesday. The 25-year-old has bounced around the lineup but often settles into a middle-six role. He's at six points -- five of which he earned over the first three contests of 2024-25 -- while adding 27 shots on net, 54 hits, 21 PIM an a plus-1 rating through 19 contests.

• Flames' Martin Pospisil: Learning moment in loss

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Pospisil was whistled for an offensive-zone penalty that led to the go-ahead goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Edmonton, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Herald reports. "It can't happen, especially in a tied game," Pospisil said of his third-period penalty. "I have to learn from it." Pospisil plays with an edge -- he leads the team in hits (38) and two-minute minors (six) -- so coaches have learned to accept his style, but his third-period high-sticking penalty in the offensive zone was costly and noticed by head coach Ryan Huska. "It's so hard to win in this league that if you overstep the boundary a little bit, then it can cost a team," Huska said. "I think he understands it. He's gotta really work to be a better player in that regard for us." Pospisil, who opened the season with six points through his first eight appearances, enters Tuesday's contest in Montreal on a four-game pointless run.

• Flames' Martin Pospisil: Garners assist in win

  10/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Pospisil registered an assist, two shots on goal and five hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers. Pospisil failed to earn multiple points for the first time in three games this season. He has a goal, four assists, four shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-3 rating while centering Jonathan Huberdeau and Anthony Mantha. Pospisil is unlikely to keep up this pace on offense, but in just his second NHL campaign, he's a proven physical force who could rank among the league leaders in hits at the end of the season if he's able to stay healthy.
