Huberdeau scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers, but the Flames announced on Thursday morning that Huberdeau will undergo hip resurfacing surgery, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. The 32-year-old Huberdeau was have a sluggish season, with 25 points (10G / 15A) through 50 games, but ends his 2025-26 campaign with four points (1G / 3A) in his last five outings.
Cooley has lost three straight games (0-2-1), but continues to be a reliable presence in Calgary's crease, posting a 2.29 GAA and .924 SV% in those outings. Dating back to late December, the 28-year-old goalie has a dazzling 2.00 GAA and .933 SV% in his last six games (3-2-1). Still, the Flames enter the action on Wednesday as +116 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team that played last night and lost 5-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Parekh started the season in the NHL but struggled to acclimate before an injury sidelined him for a lengthy period. He was then sent to play for Team Canada at the U-20 World Junior Championship, where he excelled with 13 points (5G / 8A) in seven games. The talented 19-year-old defenseman carried that international momentum into a brief conditioning loan with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), where he scored five points (2G / 3A) in four games. He will return to the Flames' lineup on Monday for his first NHL action since November 7th.
Wolf was excellent in his previous outing, saving 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks, and will look to build on his momentum on Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. That said, the 24-year-old Wolf has struggled in recent weeks, posting an ugly 3.56 GAA and .882 SV% in his last nine games (2-6-1). The Flames enter Monday's contest as -101 home underdogs against a Maple Leafs team that snapped a six-game losing streak (0-5-1) on Saturday in a 3-2 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks.
Sam Colangelo will draw back into Anaheim's lineup on Thursday against the Vancouver Canucks, sending Strome to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. After six consecutive seasons with 40 or more points, Strome has struggled to produce this season. The 32-year-old forward has just eight points (3G / 5A) in 32 games.
Despite losing his last two games (0-1-1), Cooley has played well, saving 65 of 69 combined shots (.942 SV%), continuing an impressive first season with the Flames. The 28-year-old American goalie has a tremendous 1.84 GAA and .943 SV% in his last five outings (3-1-1). That said, the Flames enter the action on Thursday as +161 road underdogs against a Minnesota Wild team that scored three or more goals in six consecutive games (4-1-1).

Tsyplakov showed flashes of promise as a 26-year-old rookie a season ago when he tallied 10 goals and 25 assists in 77 games, but had gone ice-cold this year and was ultimately deemed to be expendable by Isles General Manger Mathieu Darche. Tsyplakov has just a single goal and no assists in 27 games this season, routinely bouncing in and out of the lineup as a healthy scratch. He'll get a fresh start in New Jersey where presumably he'll compete for playing time in their bottom-six.

Pachal has been a healthy scratch for Calgary's last four games but will draw back into their lineup for Hunter Brzustewicz on Friday vs. Washington.
