Suniev scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Suniev capitalized on a turnover in the second period to give the Flames a 2-1 lead. The 21-year-old winger has played regularly since his Oct. 7 call-up, earning four goals, one assist, 18 shots on net, 11 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 10 appearances. He's filling a middle-six role with power-play time, but it'll likely take time before he's producing at a level that would make him reliable in fantasy.

Strome scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Strome has scored twice over the last four contests. The 33-year-old forward is filling a middle-six role this season and seeing some power-play time. He looks to be more of a complementary scorer in the Flames' offense, earning five points, 32 shots on net and a minus-4 rating across 13 appearances to begin the season.

Gridin scored a power-play goal on five shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Gridin picked up his third multi-point effort in the last four games. The 20-year-old has really settled into a top-six role for the Flames after struggling to start the season. He's up to five goals, five assists, 31 shots on net and a minus-4 rating across 13 appearances. Keep an eye on Gridin as an offense-only depth option in fantasy.

Frost scored a power-play goal, dished an assist and added two hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Frost had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games. The 27-year-old center continues to play an important role as a middle-six forward and a power-play option. He's up to four goals, five helpers, 25 shots on net, nine hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 13 appearances. With few solid scoring options available in Calgary, Frost will get plenty of opportunities to contribute this year.

Farabee scored a goal and added two power-play assists in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Farabee has multiple points in three of his last four games, and he's scored in four of his last five outings as well. The 26-year-old winger is living up to the top-six assignment he's been given this season. He has four goals, 10 assists, 30 shots on net, nine blocked shots, seven hits, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating across 13 contests. Farabee looks like he could be the Flames' best forward this season, though it's likely too much to expect the point-per-game pace to last.

Coronato scored a goal, dished three assists (two on the power play) and went plus-2 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Coronato logged the first four-point effort of his career, and it's also the third time he's put up three helpers. The 23-year-old winger has taken to playmaking lately -- he has multiple assists in three of his last four outings. For the season, Coronato is up to three goals, 11 assists, 30 shots on net, 11 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 13 appearances.

Wolf stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Wolf put in a good performance and got plenty of help from his offense to earn his first win since Oct. 13. He had seemingly lost the starting job to Devin Cooley (lower body), but Wolf will be the starter again while Cooley is on injured reserve. Wolf is 2-4-0 with a 4.39 GAA and an .847 save percentage over seven games this season, so he has a long way to go to earn back trust with fantasy managers. The Flames' next game is in Colorado on Saturday. It's not yet clear if they'll have Wolf start consecutive days or give Arsenii Sergeev his second career game in one of the toughest matchups in the league.

Bauer logged five PIM and two hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Bauer technically spent more time in the penalty box than on the ice -- he had just 2:59 of ice time. He dressed as a seventh defenseman but took a couple of shifts as a forward, and he also got into a fight with Bokondji Imama. Bauer has made eight appearances this season, racking up 17 hits, four blocked shots and 23 PIM. Either as a blueliner or a forward, Bauer doesn't look to have enough scoring potential to draw attention in fantasy.

Barron scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

The tally was Barron's first of the season, and it snapped a six-game point drought for the 27-year-old. He's primarily played in a bottom-six role this season, though the Jets continue to shuffle line combinations amid an eight-game losing streak. Barron is at three points, 14 shots on net, 41 hits, 13 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating across 14 outings on the year.

Connor scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Connor has three points over the last two games despite getting separated from Mark Scheifele at even strength. The tally was Connor's 11th of the season, including five on the power play, though he's scored only three times over his last seven outings. The winger has a total of 15 points, 57 shots and a minus-3 rating across 14 appearances.
