How slim are the Flames’ playoff chances with 30 games left?
Gang, no matter what anybody tells you, the primary goal of every team when each National Hockey League season begins is to win the Stanley Cup.
Yes, some teams have a more realistic chance at winning each season than others, but nobody enters the season going “Oh boy, I hope our team struggles.” Everyone is hoping for the best, though many of the teams likely know that their hopes could be a bit of a long-shot.
The Calgary Flames entered the 2025-26 season hoping to make the playoffs after a 2024-25 season that saw them miss the final playoff spot on a tiebreaker. (We wouldn’t say that they expected to make the post-season, but they saw several potential areas for improvement that they felt could get them over the line.)
A post-Andersson trade Flames cap space update
Andersson’s departure gave the Flames four assets from Vegas, but it also further amplified the club’s already ample salary cap flexibility.
As the Flames head into the final 30 games of this season, let’s delve into how the Flames look from a salary cap perspective, both this season and into the future.
Flames prospect round-up: Andrew Basha continues to dominate since being assigned to the WHL
This is the Jan. 20-26 edition of the Flames prospect round-up, where we look at how Calgary Flames prospects have done every week. Specifically, we’ll look at players playing overseas, in junior hockey, or at the college level, as the American Hockey League prospects will have an article of their own in the Wranglers Recaps.

Taking a while to get to 5000

Wild on a Thursday! I feel like these aren't your father's Minnesota Wild. Have the past few games with these teams not been pretty chippy / rough? Could be a sneaky good game tonight!

Hope Whitecloud continues his strong play and eyes continue on him as potential flip. Glad to see Coleman shut down until after Olympics - keep him recovering and trade value intact. Also glad to see the articles and talk about Kadri being open to being moved - hope this lights the fuse under the usual subjects poking around.
Go Flames ... hope the play good, but not good enough to secure a win -

It's been a tough road to get here and a lot of poster bodies in the ditch along the way.
But if we can really bear down and keep Kadri and Huberdeau off the scoresheet we can probably walk out of here without any points.

Yes. He's been their C for a few weeks now.

Dude...you cant bring Parekh to Minnesota...
ICE would either ship him to El Salvador or just shoot him on the spot.
Minnesota is like 'North Florida' sprinkled with a little 'outskirts of Detroit' at the moment...
