The Calgary Flames steady the ship with a gritty win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, snapping their losing streak as Connor Zary steps up and Dustin Wolf finally gets a game off with Devin Cooley returning to ice while still recovering from illness. Can the Flames' young players step up and the team rely on some of their defensive core to stay competitive amidst looming trade rumors for Nazem Kadri, Blake Coleman, and Rasmus Andersson?

We highlight key performances, including Matt Coronato’s game-winner and strong showings from Brayden Pachal, Yan Kuznetsov and Zary. We focus on Wolf’s workload, Cooley’s resilient return from illness and the impact of potential trades on Calgary’s roster. Plus, we give our interpretation of Pat Steinberg's recent comments on Gavin McKenna's rumored interest in playing for the Flames, and hear from Locked On NHL Prospect's Sebastian High about potential 2026 NHL Draft lottery picks Keaton Verhoeff and Ivar Stenberg.
