Flames' Jakob Pelletier: Posts helper in overtime loss
Pelletier notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Pelletier has three points over six appearances at the NHL level this season. The 23-year-old winger is seeing bottom-six minutes and minimal power-play time, but he could earn a larger role if he continues to find success. Pelletier was a first-round pick in 2019, so there's some hope that he'll get on track during this stay in the NHL, though he's also been regularly shuffled to and from the AHL since his first call-up of the season Dec. 2. This is likely to prevent him from reaching 30 days on the NHL roster, though if he plays in four more games, he would require waivers to head back to the minors anyway.

Flames' Martin Pospisil: Adds assist Tuesday
Pospisil logged an assist and a game-high seven hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Pospisil was playing his style Tuesday. He was physical as always and assisted on Nazem Kadri's second-period tally. The helper ended a six-game slump for Pospisil, who has contributed 11 points, 93 hits, 43 shots on net, 35 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 32 outings this season. He's on the top line currently, but his usage and production is more in line with that of a middle-six forward.

Flames' Mikael Backlund: Picks up assist
Backlund logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Backlund has five points over seven outings in December. The 35-year-old center helped out on a Matthew Coronato tally in the second period. Backlund is up to 15 points, 85 shots on net, 19 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 32 outings. He's on pace to push for 35-40 points once again while staying steady in a top-six role.

Flames' Blake Coleman: Contributes helper Tuesday
Coleman notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Coleman has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games (one goal, two assists). That's the longest streak of the year for the 33-year-old forward. Overall, he's produced six goals, eight assists, 71 shots on net, 59 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 32 appearances. Coleman's fantasy value depends on the format -- he's a good depth option for those in need of hits or shots, but his offense is likely to be limited since the Flames don't tend to score a lot.

Flames' Connor Zary: Provides assist
Zary logged an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Zary has two goals and three assists over his last six games. The 23-year-old forward has run a little streaky on offense, but he's been more good than bad over the last month. For the year, he's up to seven goals, 10 assists, 65 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 32 appearances in a middle-six role.

Flames' Jonathan Huberdeau: Offers helper in overtime loss
Huberdeau produced an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Huberdeau had a six-game point streak snapped Saturday versus the Panthers, but he was right back at it Tuesday. He set up a Nazem Kadri goal in the second period. December has arguably been one of the best months in Huberdeau's time as a Flame. The winger is now at 11 goals, 11 assists, 53 shots on net, 27 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 32 appearances. He's found success alongside Kadri as the Flames' best scoring duo.

Flames' Ryan Lomberg: Pots first goal of season
Lomberg scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Lomberg netted his first goal of the campaign at 17:19 of the second period. He's been a fixture on the Flames' fourth line, but he mostly just chips in with physical play, though Lomberg has two points over his last four games. The winger is at four points, 19 shots on net, 52 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 30 appearances this season.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Tickles twine Tuesday
Coronato scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Coronato opened the scoring 54 seconds into the second period. The 22-year-old winger has two goals and two assists over his last six games, providing steady offense while seeing time in a second-line role. He saw a season-high 20:13 of ice time Tuesday. He's up to eight goals, 14 points, 56 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 27 appearances.

Flames' Nazem Kadri: Goal streak at four games
Kadri scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Kadri has scored in four straight games and in seven of his last 11 contests, adding three assists in that span. The 34-year-old center gave the Flames a 2-0 lead early in the second period after he converted on a feed from Jonathan Huberdeau. Kadri leads the Flames with 12 goals and has added nine helpers, 103 shots on net, 24 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-16 rating through 32 appearances.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Loses in overtime
Wolf stopped 31 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Wolf posted a shutout in his last outing but reverted back to previous form Tuesday. This was the fourth time in five starts he's been tagged for at least four goals. Wolf is now 9-5-2 over 16 starts, posting a 2.72 GAA and a .913 save percentage. Prior to a recent lower-body injury, Dan Vladar had been carving out more playing time, and the Flames may turn to him for Thursday's game versus the Senators after Wolf's shaky showing Tuesday.

Flames' Dan Vladar: Ready for backup role
Vladar (lower body) will serve as the backup against Boston on Tuesday, per The Calgary Sun.
Vladar won't be getting the starting nod, Dustin Wolf will be between the home pipes versus the Bruins, but at least Vladar is healthy enough if needed in a relief appearance. In his last five outings, the 27-year-old Czech has struggled for consistency, posting a 2-2-1 record and one shutout to go with a 4.17 GAA and an .837 save percentage. It will likely be a season-long shuffle between Vladar and Wolf to earn starts, with the hot hand likely to keep the crease.

Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Set to miss out against Bruins
Kuzmenko (lower body) is not expected to be in the lineup versus Boston on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Kuzmenko will be unavailable for his second consecutive contest due to his lower-body injury. Even once given the green light, the 28-year-old winger is far from a lock to crack the lineup considering he is mired in a 24-game goal drought during which he's managed only 24 shots.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Sent down Sunday
Cooley was demoted to AHL Calgary on Sunday.
Cooley's demotion would point to Dan Vladar (lower body) being healthy enough to serve as the backup against the Bruins on Tuesday. While the 27-year-old Cooley has yet to play in an NHL game for the Flames, he is performing well in the minors with a 14-3-0 record and .942 save percentage in 18 outings for the Wranglers.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Starting at home Tuesday
Wolf will be in the blue paint versus the Bruins on Tuesday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Wolf registered his second career shutout Saturday, turning aside all 32 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Panthers. The 23-year-old is sporting a 9-5-1 record, .915 save percentage and 2.65 GAA through 15 appearances. The Bruins are coming off of a 5-1 win over Vancouver on Saturday.

Flames' Brayden Pachal: Inks deal with Calgary
Pachal signed a two-year, $2.375 million contract extension with the Flames on Tuesday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Pachal has chipped in one goal and one assist through 31 appearances in a depth role this season. The 25-year-old isn't known for his offensive prowess, but he should continue to provide steady minutes on the third defensive pairing.

Flames' Walker Duehr: Summoned from minors
Duehr was recalled from AHL Calgary on Monday.
Duehr has played in the Flames' last six games, registering one assist, four shots on goal, six blocked shots and nine hits. He will probably occupy a bottom-six role in Tuesday's matchup versus Boston.

Flames' Jakob Pelletier: Brought up Monday
Pelletier was promoted from AHL Calgary on Monday.
Pelletier's recall will see him likely jump into the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston. Additionally, the Flames brought up Walker Duehr, who was also sent down with Pelletier previously. Pelletier has logged five NHL games this year, logging one goal on five shots, one assist and four blocked shots while averaging 9:10 of ice time.

Bahl is up to 11 points -- matching his 82-game total last year -- while picking up 37 shots on net, 48 hits, 50 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 31 appearances.
