The Calgary Flames recently announced a Craig Conroy extension, as well as deals for Dave Nonis, Brad Pascall, and the embattled Don Maloney, noting that those contracts were signed over the summer. While the timing of the announcement did seem fishy, having been released to fans after the embarrassing Don Maloney media tour, new information is circulating that those contracts may have been signed far more recently.

Welcome back to our series as we check in on the Calgary Flames every seven games. This will run throughout the entire 2025-26 season, as we reflect on the team’s highs and lows during that time. Over the last seven games, the Flames have been playing better hockey lately. They're coming off a dominant 4-1 win against the Minnesota Wild, but there are still obvious flaws with the team.

It’s been a nightmare season for the Calgary Flames. As we approach the holidays, the Flames find themselves dead last in the NHL and with almost no hope of making the playoffs. Perhaps hidden behind a crowded news cycle in Calgary that has included trade rumours, PR nightmares, and everything in between, Jonathan Huberdeau has quietly had one of the worst seasons of his career.

The calendar has now switched over to December, and the holiday season is almost here. The main gift many Flames fans want is a certain Penn State prospect, but for now, let's settle with the ones currently in the system. Welcome to the TWC Calgary Flames prospect update. Each week, we’ll take a dive into how the Flames prospects have done in their respective leagues to go along with a feature one one standout prospect in Calgary's system.

The Calgary Flames are not very good this season. They've sat at the bottom of the standings pretty much since the start of the year. That's not to say 2025–26 has been completely negative for them so far. A few positives have trickled their way into this dreadful year. One of these positives is defenceman Yan Kuznetsov. On November 4, with an open roster spot, the Flames decided to reward the defensive defenceman with a call-up to the NHL.

Tonight the NHL will bear witness to the most exciting game of the year so far: the 32nd overall Nashville Predators will host the 31st overall Calgary Flames in a tankathon matchup for the ages. If it's in regulation, the losing team will be in 32nd overall at the end of the night, so the stakes are pretty high. It's probably going to be a snooze fest, but this game marks a unique opportunity for you, TWC readers, to wager on an…

The Calgary Flames' hot stretch continued last week, bringing their record to 4-1-1 in their last six. That's points in five of six games, something that seemed impossible back in October. Just like that, the Flames now sit just five points out of a playoff spot, albeit with two extra games played. With their recent shift in results, are the playoffs looking like an actual possibility again?

The Calgary Flames have played better of late, but remain 31st in the NHL. The goal for this season is clear: to do everything they can for a top pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. As the team remains near last place with the season continuing, more noise will be heard regarding the future of the team's veteran players. One of those players is Rasmus Andersson, who we've already heard tons of noise about ever since last season.

Despite the Calgary Flames' winning four of their last five games, their offence remains the worst in the NHL. Through 26 games, the team is averaging just 2.33 goals per game, the lowest rate in the NHL. Their goal production is currently tracking as the second-worst in franchise history, signalling a truly horrific offence. As such, it isn't surprising that the team's roster is currently on pace for some unattractive 82-game point totals.

The Calgary Flames had themselves a busy November. Overall, they wrapped up the month with a 7–6–2 record after losing to the Carolina Hurricanes 1–0 in overtime. This loss doesn’t define the month. The endless trade rumours, Nazem Kadri’s 1000th game celebration and Sam Honzek’s season-ending injury. There were plenty of off-ice antics to keep fans entertained as well. Don Maloney let fans know that there is no reason to hope for a fire sale.

After a disastrous start to the season, the Calgary Flames seem to have found their groove and have now won four of their last five games. Two of the wins were against the Florida Panthers and Dallas Stars, who are both Stanley Cup contenders. It has been an impressive stretch overall for the team, and it is something that fans did not see all season until now.

The Calgary Flames made two first round picks in 2024, the first being potential phenom Zayne Parekh, and the second being Russian winger Matvei Gridin. While the Gridin pick was a bit off the board at the time, he shocked not just the Flames but the entire NHL by making the team out of camp. He was sent back to the AHL after four games.

Over a quarter way into the 2025-26 season, the Calgary Flames have a goalie sitting at the top of the league. It's not who anyone would've guessed though. Devin Cooley, not Dustin Wolf has been posting elite numbers. While Wolf struggles with a sophomore slump, backup Cooley has been dominating between the pipes. After slowly earning more starts as the season has gone on, Cooley officially looks like one of the NHL's very best goalies this season.
