Flames' Jonathan Huberdeau: Supplies 500th career assist
Huberdeau notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Huberdeau ended a three-game slump when he set up Connor Zary for the game-winning goal. The helper was the 500th of Huberdeau's career, a milestone he reached in his 851st outing. The winger is up to six goals, five assists, 31 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating over 20 contests this season.

Flames' MacKenzie Weegar: Distributes three assists
Weegar logged three assists, seven shots on goal, four hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
One of the helpers came on the power play. Weegar has racked up six assists, including two on the power play, over his last seven contests. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to be a strong source of category coverage in fantasy with three goals, eight assists, 56 shots on net, 51 hits, 48 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 20 appearances. He'll likely fall short of last year's 20-goal, 52-point season, but a 40-point campaign is very much within reason.

Flames' Connor Zary: Deposits game-winner
Zary scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Zary has struggled to find consistent offense with just two tallies over his last 12 outings. The Flames shuffled their lines and had the 23-year-old between Jonathan Huberdeau and Blake Coleman for this game. Zary is now at four goals, nine points, 45 shots, 13 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 20 appearances. Fantasy managers in redraft formats should keep an eye on where he's lining up, but he's won't be a must-have player until he contribute more regularly.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: One of each in win
Coronato scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Coronato had been held off the scoresheet in the three previous games, though the Flames scored just five times in that span. He broke the drought with a first-period tally and added a helper on Yegor Sharangovich's goal in the second. Coronato is fitting right in for the Flames, earning six goals and nine points over 15 appearances, matching his point total from 34 outings in 2023-24. He's added 31 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-8 rating while filling a middle-six role.

Flames' Yegor Sharangovich: Two points in 300th career game
Sharangovich scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Sharangovich was involved in the Flames' first two goals, including scoring at 8:29 of the second period. This was his 300th career appearance, and he's accumulated 169 points. He's off to a slow start in 2024-25, though part of that can be explained by a lower-body injury that cost him the first two weeks of the season. Sharangovich has three goals, one assist, 35 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 13 appearances while seeing playing time in all situations.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Overcomes brief lapse in win
Wolf allowed two goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
The Flames dominated the pace of play, but the game was tied at 2-2 at the second intermission after Wolf let in a pair of goals 16 seconds apart. Connor Zary saved the day in the third period with the game-winning goal, allowing Wolf to pick up his fourth straight win -- a span in which he's given up just four goals on 116 shots. The crease looks to be his as long as he keeps winning. Wolf is 8-2-1 with a 2.33 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 11 starts. The Flames' next game is Saturday at home versus the Wild.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Starting at home Thursday
Wolf will be between the home pipes for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf will tend the twine for the fourth time in the Flames' last five games. Over his last three starts, he's gone 3-0-0 with a 0.65 GAA and .977 save percentage, and he recorded his first shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over Nashville last Friday. The Rangers rank fifth in the NHL with 3.59 goals per game, but Wolf has certainly been on a hot streak lately.

Flames' Brayden Pachal: Light on offense, still playing
Pachal was held off the scoresheet for the 18th straight game in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders.
Pachal earned a helper Opening Night versus the Canucks, but he hasn't gotten on the scoresheet since. The 25-year-old defenseman also hasn't been scratched, doing an excellent job of keeping Tyson Barrie and Joel Hanley in limited roles. Pachal may be lacking in offense, but he has 50 hits, 25 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 19 outings, so he's still contributing in the non-scoring areas.

Flames' Martin Pospisil: Snaps slump with power-play assist
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' Nazem Kadri: Earns power-play assist
Kadri notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders.
Kadri has a helper in consecutive games and four points over his last seven outings. This was his first power-play point since Oct. 12 versus the Flyers. The veteran center now has five goals, five assists, three power-play points, 60 shots on net, 12 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 19 appearances. Kadri continues to see top-six minutes, but he's lagging behind the scoring pace that saw him earn 75 points in 82 outings in 2023-24.

Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Ties game on power play
Andersson scored a power-play goal on two shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders.
Andersson tied the contest at 8:17 of the third period, ending his seven-game point drought with the goal. The 28-year-old defenseman was red-hot in October before his scoring pace dipped this month. Overall, he has five goals, 12 points, 36 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 19 appearances. That production is in line with his two best seasons, so all fantasy managers can ask for from Andersson is a bit more consistency.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Excellent in shootout win
Wolf stopped 28 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders.
Wolf gave up a goal to Pierre Engvall in the second period, but that was it. In the shootout, Wolf turned aside both of the Islanders' attempts to secure his fourth win in his last five outings. In that span, he's allowed just eight goals on 149 shots, a .946 save percentage. He hasn't faced many stout offenses yet, but the 23-year-old is getting some confidence with a 7-2-1 record, a 2.36 GAA and a .925 save percentage over his first 10 starts of the campaign. Head coach Ryan Huska has been rewarding wins with more work, so it could be Wolf in goal again Thursday versus the Rangers. However, neither Wolf nor Dan Vladar has started more than two games in a row yet this season.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Starting at home
Wolf will defend the home crease versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
Wolf has won his last two starts while turning aside a combined 57 of 58 shots, and that includes a 29-save shutout versus Nashville on Friday. If Wolf can keep up his current level of play, he should see the bulk of the starts going forward over fellow netminder Dan Vladar. Wolf draws a favorable matchup in the Islanders, a team that ranks 25th in league scoring with 2.61 goals per game through 18 outings.

Flames' Adam Klapka: Brought up from AHL
Klapka was promoted from AHL Calgary on Tuesday.
Klapka has been highly productive with the Wranglers this season -- the 24-year-old has produced five goals and three assists over seven games. The right-shot forward hasn't made an appearance with the Flames since Oct. 26 against Winnipeg.

Flames' MacKenzie Weegar: Pockets helper in win
Weegar notched an assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and two hits in Friday's 2-0 win over the Predators.
Weegar has earned three helpers over his last five contests. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to see steady usage in a top-four role and on the power play, though the Flames' mild offense has limited his scoring upside. He's now at three goals, five assists, 45 shots on net, 45 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 18 outings.
