Sharangovich sustained a broken foot in Thursday's regular-season finale versus the Kings, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Sharangovich compiled 17 goals, 32 points and 128 shots on net across 73 appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. He will recover over the offseason and could be ready for training camp in the fall.

Flames' Dryden Hunt: Goes on waivers
Rotowire
Hunt was placed on waivers Friday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
The move was made to get Hunt extra playing time with AHL Calgary as they are in the playoffs. Hunt is expected to pass through waivers, allowing him to suit up in AHL playoff action. Hunt had three assists in five NHL games this season, including a pair of helpers Thursday in a 5-1 win over the Kings.

Flames' Hunter Brzustewicz: Sent back down
Rotowire
Brzustewicz was assigned to AHL Calgary on Friday.
Brzustewicz made his NHL debut Thursday against the Kings and recorded a hit, two PIM and a plus-2 rating while being held pointless in 18:23 of ice time. However, he'll head back to the minors to help the Wranglers in the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Flames' Sam Morton: Sent to AHL
Rotowire
Morton was reassigned to AHL Calgary on Friday.
Morton made his NHL debut Thursday and scored the game-winning goal in a 5-1 win over Los Angeles. He will gain valuable experience playing in the AHL playoffs, which could bode well for the pending RFA.

Flames' Brayden Pachal: Pockets helper in win
Rotowire
Pachal notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Pachal picked up a helper in three straight games to end the season. The 25-year-old defenseman put up 12 points, 61 shots on net, 88 PIM, 159 hits, 83 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 76 outings this season. Pachal played alongside Hunter Brzustewicz in Thursday's game, but the two of them could be competing for minutes in 2025-26.

Flames' Ryan Lomberg: Adds assist Thursday
Rotowire
Lomberg notched an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Lomberg set up Sam Morton's first NHL goal at 6:05 of the third period. The 30-year-old Lomberg picked up the pace with five points over the last 10 games of the season. He produced 13 points, 66 shots on net, 120 hits, 57 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 80 appearances this season. Lomberg is under contract for 2025-26, so he should be back as an energy player in a fourth-line role for the Flames.

Flames' Yegor Sharangovich: Offers assist in win
Rotowire
Sharangovich notched an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Sharangovich put up eight points over the last 11 games of the season. The 26-year-old forward had some struggles this year, which limited him to 32 points, 128 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 73 appearances. Sharangovich will need to work on year-to-year consistency after his 59-point 2023-24 campaign. His five-year deal at a $5.75 million cap hit kicks in for 2025-26, so expectations for his play will be elevated accordingly.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Plucks apple in win
Rotowire
Coronato notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Coronato was superb late in the season, earning four goals and four assists to close the campaign on a seven-game point streak. The 22-year-old had a total of 47 points (24 goals, 23 assists), 180 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 77 appearances. Coronato could be in consideration for Team USA at the 2025 IIHF World Championship if he's feeling well enough to play after his first full NHL season. However, he's a restricted free agent this summer and may not want to risk his health in an international tournament if he doesn't have a new contract in hand. In any case, this season established Coronato as a top-six option for the Flames moving forward.

Flames' Adam Klapka: Misses most of third period
Rotowire
Klapka was injured in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
Klapka missed most of the third period after logging an assist earlier in the game. There was no update on his status after the contest, though information could surface when the Flames have their exit interviews in the coming days. Klapka could also be invited to play for Czechia at the 2025 IIHF World Championship if he is healthy enough for next month's tournament. He put up 10 points, 44 shots on net, 108 hits and a minus-3 rating over 31 NHL appearances this season.

Flames' Dryden Hunt: Provides two assists
Rotowire
Hunt notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Hunt hadn't played since March 22 versus the Islanders, as he was largely left as a healthy scratch during the Flames' failed playoff push. The 29-year-old winger posted three assists, five shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-1 rating over five NHL appearances this season. He can play for AHL Calgary during its playoff run if he clears waivers. Hunt will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and it's unclear if he's interested in staying in the Flames' organization at this time.

Flames' Sam Morton: First career goal is game-winner
Rotowire
Morton scored a goal and added four hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Morton made his NHL debut Thursday, and he scored at 6:05 of the third period to put the Flames ahead 2-0. That goal ultimately stood as the game-winner. This was a positive audition for Morton, who is a restricted free agent this summer. He's posted 45 points over 69 games with AHL Calgary. The undrafted forward could compete for a bottom-six job in training camp in the fall. He'll likely head back to the Wranglers for their playoff run to close out 2024-25.

Flames' Zayne Parekh: Scores in NHL debut
Rotowire
Parekh scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Parekh lit the lamp at 8:24 of the third period for his first NHL goal. The 19-year-old defenseman played well, though the Kings were certainly not going all-out since they have the playoffs to think about. In any case, Parekh figures to get a long look in training camp after a 107-point campaign with OHL Saginaw this year. He won't meet the requirements to be assigned to the AHL in 2025-26, so it's NHL or junior hockey for Parekh in the upcoming season.

Flames' Mikael Backlund: One of each Thursday
Rotowire
Backlund scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Backlund's pair of points came in the third period. He set up a Zayne Parekh tally at 8:24 of the frame, then scored just over three minutes later. Backlund perhaps headed off some age-related concerns with eight goals over the last seven games of the season. Still, he had just 15 goals, 32 points and 175 shots over 76 outings this year. The Swedish center will be in a contract year in 2025-26.

Flames' Nazem Kadri: Scores twice in win
Rotowire
Kadri scored a pair of goals on four shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Kadri opened the scoring in the second period and added another tally in the third. While the Flames' pursuit of a playoff spot came up short, Kadri can't be blamed for that after posting five goals and four assists over nine outings in April. Overall, he had a career-high 35 goals with 32 assists, 279 shots on net, 55 hits, 30 blocked shots, 72 PIM and a minus-17 rating over 82 appearances this season. Barring a big swing in free agency, Kadri will be the Flames' No. 1 center entering 2025-26.

Flames' Dan Vladar: Wins in season finale
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 30 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Vladar's shutout bid was spoiled by Taylor Ward in the third period, but it was an otherwise excellent outing for the veteran netminder. Vladar won his last four decisions for the Flames, but that wasn't enough to keep him in the crease, as Dustin Wolf took over the No. 1 job to close out the season. The 27-year-old Vladar closes the campaign at 12-11-6 with a 2.80 GAA and an .898 save percentage in a career-high 30 games. With Wolf looking like a potential workhorse, Vladar may try his luck in free agency to find a more favorable team for playing time.
Zary (knee) is expected to miss Thursday's season finale against the Kings, per the NHL media site.
Zary will conclude the season with 13 goals and 27 points in 54 appearances. That's a modest dip from his 34 points (14 goals) as a rookie in 2023-24, though he did appear in 63 games during that season.

Flames' Jake Bean: Not in lineup Thursday
Rotowire
Bean (rest) will not play in the season finale versus Los Angeles on Thursday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Bean had two goals and five assists in 64 games this season, and he was pointless in his last 28 contests. Bean has one year remaining on his contract and should be a third-unit defenseman next season.

Flames' Joel Hanley: Not expected to play Thursday
Rotowire
Hanley is slated to miss Thursday's regular-season finale against the Kings due to rest purposes, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Hanley made 53 appearances during his first full season with the Flames this year, recording two goals, seven assists, 90 blocked shots, 55 hits and 21 PIM while averaging 18:35 of ice time. He's slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Flames' Martin Pospisil: Slated to skip Thursday's game
Rotowire
Pospisil (rest) is expected to sit out Thursday's clash against the Kings, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Pospisil played in Calgary's first 81 games of the regular season, but it seems the 25-year-old will take the finale off. He recorded four goals, 25 points, 84 PIM and 301 hits in 2024-25. He'll enter next season in the second half of his two-year, $2 million contract.
