With Mikael Backlund (upper body) returning from a six-game absence, Sharangovich will be the odd man out of the lineup as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Sharangovich has been held off the scoresheet in four straight games. He has 24 points (12G / 12A) in 62 outings this season.
The Flames took a tough blow in their preseason finale on Friday when Sharangovich exited the contest with a lower-body injury. Sharangovich was expected to start the 2024-25 campaign on the Flames' top line with Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko after scoring an impressive 59 points (31G / 28A) in 82 games last season.
Sharangovich will remain in Calgary after signing a five-year contract extension worth $28.75 million ($5,750,000 AAV) on Monday.

Sharangovich was acquired on Tuesday as a part of the trade that sent Tyler Toffoli to the Devils. The 25-year-old forward saw his role diminish last season, and his offensive output drop as a result. In Calgary, he should serve as a middle-6 winger with 25-25 upside.
Sharangovich is a pending RFA that had just 30 points (13G / 17A) in 75 games in 2023. Sharangovich saw his minutes drop by over two minutes per game. The 25-year-old will likely play in a bottom-6 role, potentially on a line with Mikael Backlund in 2024.
Sharangovich was a healthy scratch for the Devils' Game 1 but will draw into the lineup Thursday as he replaces Jesper Boqvist. The 24-year-old closed out his third career NHL regular season with 13 goals, 17 assists, 131 SOG, 16 PIMS and a -3 plus/minus through 75 games played.
Sharangovich was a healthy scratch for the Devils' previous game but will draw back into the lineup Thursday as they take on Columbus. The 24-year-old has 13 goals, 16 assists, 123 SOG, 14 PIMs and a -6 plus/minus through 71 games so far this season.

Sharangovich was in threat to miss his first contest of the 2022-23 season but will be available after missing practice due to personal reasons. The 24-year-old has been enjoying a solid season with eight goals, six assists and 49 SOG through 26 GP.
Sharangovich was hurt early in Tuesday's game against the Rangers but was on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and is expected to skate on the top-line vs. the Canadiens. Sharangovich has been playing very well as of late, scoring seven goals with five assists (12 points) in his last 14 games.
Sharangovich and Pavel Zacha entered COVID-19 protocol and will not play in Boston. With Sharangovich, Zacha and Nico Hischier all out, Thomas Tatar, Alexander Holtz and Nolan Foote are expected to play.
