There have been many constants with the Calgary Flames over the past year, but none more than their top defence pairing of Rasmus Andersson and Kevin Bahl. The duo were together almost all of last season, and have once again started the season beside each other in 2025–26. Much like last season, the pair has struggled in a big way. Here's why it's time to break up the duo and try something new.

The Calgary Flames traded for a new backup goalie in Ivan Prosvetov during the offseason; however, plans changed during training camp, and it was Prosvetov who was sent down, while Devin Cooley made the Flames' roster. Huska said that it was a close decision between the two goalies and that it came down to familiarity. Despite this, it appears that the backup goalie position remains in flux, as reports from Elliotte Friedman suggest that the Flames are not yet done addressing this.

The Saddledome remains one of the busiest rinks in North America, as the Wranglers return for another season as the Flames affiliate. With Wranglers season officially underway as of October 11th, nows a good time to take a look at what Flames fans can expect out of the 2025-2026 Calgary Wranglers. Who's On the Team? Forwards: Andrew Basha, Aydar Suniev, Parker Bell, William Stromgren, Lucas Ciona, Rory Kerins, Carter King, Sam Morton, Clark Bishop, Dryden Hunt, …

Prior to the Calgary Wranglers' season opener, the team announced their captains and leadership group for the 2025-26 season. Captain Clark Bishop Following Brett Sutter's retirement from professional hockey as a player (he's now the Wranglers' Head Coach), Clark Bishop took over as captain of the Wranglers last season. He will remain the captain for this season as well.

In their third game of the season, the Calgary Flames played their home opener against the St. Louis Blues. Zayne Parekh lined up for his season debut with Jake Bean out. Jonathan Huberdeau was still out, and Justin Kirkland drew out of the lineup in favour of Samuel Honzek. With these changes implemented, the team got off to a strong start and arguably had its best offensive performance since the previous season.

After two painful games with Zayne Parekh shackled to a chain the press box, he will finally make his season debut this afternoon in the Calgary Flames' home opener against the St. Louis Blues. This was confirmed by Head Coach Ryan Huska in his appearance on Sportsnet 960's Coaches Show with Pat Steinberg. What to expect from Parekh Yes, Parekh is widely touted as one of the best prospects in hockey, but it's important to keep expectations for him realistic.

Fans, myself included, want Zayne Parekh to be a full-time NHLer right away. Especially after the taste of Parekh NHL action we saw in game 82 of last season. However, it is okay for the Flames to be patient in handling him, especially in the first half of the season. It’s important to note that Parekh is only 19 years old.

Hockey is finally back, and it will be an immediate grind for the Calgary Flames. They got to start their season against the Western Conference Champions in the Edmonton Oilers, then rush on over to Vancouver to play the Canucks the next day. The home opener will take place on Saturday afternoon against the St. Louis Blues. This will be a game the Flames are fired up for, as the Blues barely beat them to the last playoff spot last year.

When he was taken with the 28th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, not many knew his name. Now? Calgary Flames fans are raving over Matvei Gridin. After an outstanding training camp and preseason, Gridin was named to the opening night roster. Jonathan Huberdeau, starting the season on the IR, gave him the chance to make sure management doesn't send him back down.

After an opening night win against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday, the Calgary Flames travelled to Vancouver to take on the Canucks on Thursday. Running the same lineup as they did the night before, including Dustin Wolf in net, the Flames made far too many mistakes, allowing the Canucks to score five goals. While they did spoil Thatcher Demko's shutout bid, the Calgary Flames lost 5–1 to the Vancouver Canucks.

It's no secret that the Calgary Flames have heavily depended on Dustin Wolf for their success. While the Flames have a future star in net, hockey isn't a one-man sport. The Flames had a viable backup in Dan Vladar last season, but that stability decreased when he left in free agency. Devin Cooley currently stands as the backup goaltender behind Wolf, but that may not last for much longer, as the Flames are reportedly looking for another backup goaltender.

The 2025-26 NHL season is in full swing! With the Calgary Flames coming off a 4-3 comeback win vs the Edmonton Oilers, their season is bound to be filled with ups and downs. As usual, we like to compare how the Flames' opening night roster looks this season versus the season prior. In this article, let's quickly compare the 2025-26 group with the roster the Flames iced last season.

With the NHL season starting on Wednesday. For the prospects within the system, this means even more leagues are starting up for the year as well. The NCAA had its first week of action, and that means Calgary Flames fans got the first look at some of the nine Flames prospects playing college hockey. A lot less movement this week, and more stability as Flames prospects get comfortable.

For the second straight year, the Calgary Flames erased a three-goal deficit in the first game of the season, this time to defeat the Edmonton 4-3 in a shootout. There wasn't a ton to love in this game, but like many of the games we saw last season, Dustin Wolf shut the door, and he gave his team an opportunity to get the win.
