Calgary Flames News

For the first time this season, the Flames will roll with Wolf between the pipes for consecutive games. Wolf was excellent in his previous outing, saving 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens. The 23-year-old Wolf has a 2.99 GAA and .908 SV% through six games this season (4-2-0). That said, the Flames enter the action on Thursday as +155 road underdogs against a Boston Bruins club coming off a 4-0 shutout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

With the Flames recently placing Anthony Mantha (lower body) on Injured Reserve, they have recalled Hunt from the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). The 28-year-old Hunt played 28 games with the Flames last season, scoring eight points (3G / 5A).

Mantha suffered the injury late in the first period of Tuesday's game against the Montreal Canadiens and was unable to return. Mantha has been placed on Injured Reserve retroactive to November 5th and will not be eligible to return until at least November 12th. The 30-year-old Mantha has seven points (4G / 3A) in 13 games this season.

Mantha suffered the injury late in the first period of Monday's game against the Montreal Canadiens and was unable to return. Kevin Rooney will draw into the lineup as Mantha's replacement. The 30-year-old Mantha has seven points (4G / 3A) in 13 games this season.

Anthony Mantha is battling a lower-body injury and will not play on Thursday, allowing Rooney to re-enter the lineup for the Flames. The 31-year-old Rooney is without a point in five games while averaging 8:13 time-on-ice this season.

Mantha suffered the injury late in the first period and was unable to return. We should receive an update on the injury prior to Calgary's game in Boston on Thursday.

Justin Kirkland will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday after a two-game absence, sending Rooney to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Rooney is without a point in five games while averaging 8:13 time-on-ice this season.

Kevin Rooney will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Kirkland to return to the Flames' lineup after sitting out for two games. The 28-year-old Kirkland has five points (1G / 4A) in nine games this season while averaging 11:22 time-on-ice.

The Flames strayed away from their even goalie rotation for the first time this season in their previous contest, starting Dan Vladar in consecutive games, but will return to Wolf between the pipes on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. Wolf has allowed three or more goals in his last three outings (1-2-0) but has been serviceable between the pipes for the Flames, posting a 3.19 GAA and .907 SV% in five contests (3-2-0). The Flames enter the action on Tuesday as -142 home favorites against a Canadiens club riding a three-game losing skid

The Flames strayed away from their even goalie rotation for the first time this season in their previous contest, starting Dan Vladar in consecutive games, but will likely return to Wolf between the pipes on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. Wolf has allowed three or more goals in his last three outings (1-2-0) but has been serviceable between the pipes for the Flames, posting a 3.19 GAA and .907 SV% in five contests (3-2-0). The Flames enter the action on Tuesday as -142 home favorites against a Canadiens club riding a three-game losing skid.

Justin Kirkland will be a healthy scratch for the first time since the opening game of the season, as Rooney re-enters the lineup for the Flames. In three games this season, Rooney has a -1 plus/minus and 10 hits.

Daniil Miromanov will draw into the Flames lineup for his ninth game of the season, replacing Bean. The 26-year-old Bean had a -2 plus/minus in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Utah HC but has been productive from the blueline this season, tallying three points (1G / 2A) in seven games.

Kevin Rooney will draw into the Flames lineup on Friday, replacing Kirkland after playing nine straight games. The 26-year-old Kirkland has been productive in a limited role this season, averaging 11:22 time-on-ice and scoring five points (1G / 4A) in nine games.

Jake Bean will be a healthy scratch on Friday, allowing Miromanov to re-enter the lineup for the Flames. The 27-year-old Miromanov has been a regular in the lineup most of the season for the Flames, averaging 17:56 time-on-ice, recording one assist, 12 blocks, and five hits in eight games.

Coronato played five games with the Flames earlier this season, scoring two points (2G / 0A), and will draw back into their lineup after Samuel Honzek was reassigned to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). Coronato was the 13th overall pick of the Flames in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and had an excellent 2023-24 campaign with the Wranglers, scoring 42 points (15G / 27A) in 41 games.

Most teams that started the 2024-25 season by alternating goalies have geared away to the hotter hand, but in their 11th game of the season, the Flames will keep that trend alive and turn to Vladar between the pipes for his sixth start. The 27-year-old Vladar has been serviceable, albeit unspectacular, recording a 2-2-1 record with a 3.18 GAA and .895 SV%. The Flames, riding a four-game losing skid (0-4-0), enter Friday's contest against the New Jersey Devils, winners of two straight, as +151 home underdogs.

The 19-year-old Slovak was the 16th overall pick of the Flames in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. In five games this season, Honzek has zero points, six shots, and six hits while averaging 12:24 time-on-ice. In a corresponding move, the Flames recalled Matt Coronato from the Calgary Wranglers (AHL).
