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.

The Calgary Flames offensive slump sparks playoff concerns as Dustin Wolf faces relentless pressure in net after an eighth straight start. Can key players like Connor Zary and Blake Coleman ignite a turnaround, or is a rebuild looming for the Flames?

We spotlight the team’s fourth consecutive loss and examine Wolf’s heavy workload, confidence issues among the roster and the impact of frequent line changes. Insights from Ryan Huska, Zary and Wolf highlight the chemistry struggles, defensive adjustments and trade rumors swirling around Blake Coleman and Rasmus Andersson. An upcoming matchup against Bryan Rust, Sidney Crosby and the red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins and discussions about potential trade scenarios set the stage for a pivotal stretch. Are the Flames destined to sell at the deadline, or will young talent like Matt Coronato and Zayne Parekh spark renewed hope for Calgary’s season?
