Maatta notched an assist and blocked five shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Maatta started the game on the third pairing but ended up with 23:54 of ice time after Zach Whitecloud's (upper body) exit. The 31-year-old Maatta should get a better chance to play regularly for the Flames after being a regular scratch for the Mammoth. He's produced just two helpers with 11 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 23 outings this season.

Flames' Zayne Parekh: First point since return
Rotowire
Parekh logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.
With the Flames' blue line torn almost all the way down through the Rasmus Andersson and MacKenzie Weegar trades, it's now Parekh's time to shine on the first power-play unit. He did just that Saturday, setting up a Morgan Frost goal in the second period. Parekh has logged just two helpers with 15 shots on net and nine blocked shots over 18 NHL appearances this season. The 20-year-old's long-term fantasy future is bright, but he needs to show more to be an option in redraft formats.

Flames' Ryan Strome: Two points in team debut
Rotowire
Strome scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Strome was acquired from the Ducks on Friday in a salary dump. The 32-year-old forward goes from being a regular scratch in Anaheim to the new third-line center for Calgary, ostensibly replacing Nazem Kadri, who was dealt to Colorado. Strome's improved playing time should help his offense, but he's in a tough team situation in Calgary. The 32-year-old has 11 points, 37 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-4 rating over 34 appearances this season and will need to be steady on offense to earn attention in fantasy.

Flames' Blake Coleman: Two points in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Coleman scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Coleman wasn't traded Friday, so he'll stay with the Flames as a veteran leader in a larger role to close out this campaign. The 34-year-old has three points over his last three outings. He's up to 14 goals, 10 assists, 118 shots on net, 121 hits, 34 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 50 appearances this season. He should be able to get over the 30-point mark again, but Coleman is likely to finish on the lower end of his usual range for offense, which is typically 30-40 points.
Flames' Morgan Frost: Collects three points in win
Rotowire
Frost scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two assists in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Frost has five points over four outings in March. He showed some growth in January with eight points in 14 games, but he didn't get on the scoresheet over four contests in February around the Olympic break. The 26-year-old center is poised to fill a larger role following the Flames' trade of Nazem Kadri to the Avalanche. Frost is up to 14 goals, 32 points (13 on the power play), 105 shots on net and a minus-15 rating over 62 appearances. He was limited to 37 points in 81 contests between Calgary and Philadelphia last year, but he's poised to get back over the 40-point mark in 2025-26.

Flames' Joel Farabee: Shines in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Farabee scored twice on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Farabee's three points all came at even strength, with his second tally being the game-winner. The 26-year-old has earned five points over six contests since the Olympic break, and he's currently in a top-six role. Farabee has 15 goals, 28 points, 110 shots on net and a minus-12 rating across 62 appearances this season, surpassing his 25-point effort from 81 games between the Flames and Flyers last year.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Fades late but maintains win
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Wolf still had his hands full with a tired Hurricanes team, allowing three of the four goals in the third period. The 24-year-old netminder had lost his last two outings, giving up five goals on 53 shots in those contests. He's now up to 18-23-3 with a 3.00 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 45 appearances. Wolf should get a decent share of starts down the stretch, but the Flames' roster was depleted a bit at the trade deadline, so he'll be a risky option. Up next, the Flames begin a five-game road trip with a back-to-back, visiting the Capitals on Monday and the Rangers on Tuesday, which should be a pair of games for Wolf and Devin Cooley to split.

Flames' Zach Whitecloud: Hurt in Saturday's game
Rotowire
Whitecloud (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes.
Whitecloud took an awkward fall late in the first period and was unable to return. The 29-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day for now. The Flames begin a five-game road trip Monday versus the Capitals, so Whitecloud's status should be updated prior to the team heading on the road.

Flames' Joel Hanley: Out for Saturday's clash
Rotowire
Hanley (illness) will miss Saturday's home game against the Hurricanes due to an illness, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Hanley was reported to be under the weather Saturday, meaning he'll miss his first game since Nov. 18. The 34-year-old blueliner has seven assists, 34 shots on goal, 38 hits and 76 blocked shots across 58 games this season. In his absence, the newly acquired Olli Maatta is set to make his debut for Calgary and should occupy Hanley's spot on the depth chart. Hanley's next chance to return is Monday's matchup against the Capitals, which marks the start of Calgary's upcoming road trip.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Gets starting nod Saturday
Rotowire
Wolf will patrol the home crease versus Carolina on Saturday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Wolf has been sharing the net with Devin Cooley since Jan. 10. Wolf is 17-23-3 with a 2.97 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 44 outings this season. The Hurricanes are fourth in NHL scoring, generating 3.48 goals per game.
Basha scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Medicine Hat's 8-4 win over Red Deer on Friday.
Basha has scored in four straight games and has four goals and six assists in that span. He's gotten on the scoresheet in 13 straight contests for the Tigers. Overall, he's up to 14 goals, 41 points and a plus-20 rating over 26 appearances since returning to Medicine Hat in January.

Flames' Matvei Gridin: Loaned to AHL affiliate
Rotowire
Gridin was assigned to AHL Calgary on Friday.
Gridin has earned three goals, four assists, 34 shots on net and 17 blocked shots in 18 NHL appearances this season. The 20-year-old forward also has 10 goals and 29 points across 36 minor-league outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Flames' Max Curran: Involved in blockbuster trade
Rotowire
Calgary acquired Curran, Victor Olofsson, a conditional 2028 first-round pick and a conditional 2027 second-round pick from Colorado on Friday in exchange for Nazem Kadri and a 2027 fourth-round selection.
Curran has 14 goals and 41 points in 31 games for WHL Edmonton this season. He has committed to play for the University of Massachusetts in the 2026-27 campaign.

Flames' Victor Olofsson: Traded to Calgary
Rotowire
Olofsson, Max Curran, a conditional 2028 first-round pick and a conditional 2027 second-round pick were traded to the Flames from the Avalanche on Friday in exchange for Nazem Kadri and a 2027 fourth-round pick.
Olofsson spent the first six years of his career with Buffalo but signed with the Golden Knights ahead of last season before linking up with the Avalanche on a one-year deal ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Across 60 appearances with Colorado, he recorded 11 goals, 14 assists, 14 blocked shots, 13 hits and six PIM while averaging 13:20 of ice time.

Flames' Brennan Othmann: Flipped in trade
Rotowire
Othmann was traded to Calgary on Friday from the Rangers in a swap for Jacob Battaglia, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Othmann has played in 17 games for the Rangers this year, garnering one goal, 13 shots and 40 hits while averaging 9:53 of ice time. The 23-year-old winger should get more opportunities at the NHL level down the stretch, assuming the Flames opt to bring him up from the minors.

Flames' Ryan Strome: Acquired for draft pick
Rotowire
Strome was acquired by Calgary from Anaheim on Friday in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, per Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
Strome recorded at least 41 points in six straight regular seasons from 2019-20 through 2024-25. However, he has been limited to just three goals and nine points in 33 appearances with Anaheim in 2025-26. This trade will give him a chance to start fresh with a new team. Strome is signed to a five-year, $25 million contract that runs through the 2026-27 campaign.

Flames' Martin Pospisil: Pots lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Pospisil scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.
Pospisil had been scratched for the previous two games. He missed more than three months to begin the season while he recovered from an undisclosed injury, and he started slow once he was healthy. The goal was his first point in 10 outings, to go with 12 shots on net, 31 hits and six PIM. Pospisil is currently in a fourth-line role but may move up the lineup if the Flames swing some trades prior to Friday's deadline.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Solid in loss
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 33 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Cooley's performance kept it close until the Senators' pair of empty-netters closed it out. The 28-year-old netminder has just one win over his last seven outings (1-3-2) despite allowing a modest 16 goals on 220 shots in that span (.927 save percentage). Cooley dropped to 7-7-4 with a 2.27 GAA and a .923 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. He still makes for a decent matchup-based streamer in fantasy when he gets the nod, and Cooley may see more playing time down the stretch to avoid saddling Dustin Wolf with too heavy a workload. The Flames' netminders are to be avoided in Saturday's home game versus the Hurricanes.
