Up front, the Flames boast a forward group that’s deep, dynamic, and dangerous. Jonathan Huberdeau is back in top form, ready to orchestrate the offense with his elite playmaking. Nazem Kadri brings playoff pedigree and tenacity, anchoring a middle six that’s as gritty as it is skilled. New additions like Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee inject creativity and speed, while Connor Zary and Matt Coronato are primed for breakout campaigns. Yegor Sharangovich and Martin Pospisil offer versatility and edge, and Mikael Backlund continues to be the heartbeat of Calgary’s two-way game. Blake Coleman and Ryan Lomberg round out a bottom six that’s built for pressure and momentum shifts. Add in exciting youngsters like Matvei Gridin and Sam Honzek for scoring depth.

The defense is where Calgary’s transformation truly shines. MacKenzie Weegar and Rasmus Andersson remain the cornerstone pairing—mobile, physical, and capable of logging heavy minutes. But the infusion of talent behind them is what elevates this blue line to contender status. Kevin Bahl adds size and shutdown ability, while Jake Bean and Daniil Miromanov bring puck-moving flair. Joel Hanley and Brayden Pachal provide depth and reliability, and the emergence of top prospect Zayne Parekh could be the wild card that turns Calgary’s defense into a juggernaut. With Hunter Brzustewicz, Yan Kuznetsov, and Etienne Morin waiting in the wings, the Flames’ defensive pipeline is stacked.

Between the pipes, the torch has officially passed to Dustin Wolf. The reigning rookie standout is ready to take the NHL by storm, combining lightning reflexes with calm composure. Devin Cooley offers a solid backup option, and with Ivan Prosvetov, Owen Say, and Arsenii Sergeev in the system, Calgary’s goaltending depth is quietly elite.

Head coach Ryan Huska enters his second season with a roster tailored to his system: fast, structured, and relentless. Expect a top-tier penalty kill, an aggressive forecheck, and a power play that finally clicks. Huska’s calm demeanor and tactical precision are the perfect match for a team hungry to prove its mettle.
The Pacific Division is wide open, and Calgary has the pieces to dominate. With a balanced attack, a fortified blue line, and a goaltending tandem ready to steal games, the Flames are built for playoff success. Add in the electric atmosphere of the Saddledome and a fanbase starving for glory, and you’ve got a recipe for something .

This isn’t just optimism—it’s ignition. The Calgary Flames are ready to blaze a trail to the Stanley Cup. The fire is lit. The path is clear. And the time is now.
Let’s go Flames.
