Pospisil will join Slovakia for the 2026 IIHF World Championship in Switzerland, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Friday.
Pospisil had one goal and two assists over 22 regular-season games with the Flames in 2025-26, after playing 81 games in 2024-25. He missed the first 49 games of the season with an undisclosed injury and never got untracked all year. Pospisil will look to fill out a bottom-six role next season, as he still has two-years remaining on a three-year deal signed in July of 2025.

Rotowire
Gridin notched an assist in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Gridin was able to play in the last two games of the year after missing a contest versus the Mammoth on Sunday due to an illness. All in all, the 20-year-old took a big step to being an NHL regular in 2025-26, earning 20 points, 70 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 37 appearances. Gridin should have the inside track to make the Flames out of training camp in the fall.

Rotowire
Strome notched an assist in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Strome was out of the lineup for two of the Flames' last five games. The 32-year-old center ends the campaign with 21 points, 57 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 52 appearances between Calgary and Anaheim.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Nabs assist in finale
Rotowire
Coronato notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Coronato missed one game due to an undisclosed injury. He got on the scoresheet in 12 of his last 15 outings, totaling four goals and 11 assists in that span. The 23-year-old's playmaking touch is encouraging, especially since he was regarded for his shot when selected 13th overall in 2021. Coronato ended the campaign at 45 points, 197 shots on net and a minus-29 rating over 80 appearances.

Flames' Zach Whitecloud: Supplies pair of assists
Rotowire
Whitecloud notched two assists, two shots on goal, three hits, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Whitecloud ended the campaign with four helpers over his last six games. The 29-year-old defenseman had a total of 17 points (two goals, 15 assists) while adding 67 shots on net, 124 hits, 140 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 78 appearances between Calgary and Vegas. Whitecloud typically won't put up a lot of offense, but the Flames' rebuild has afforded more playing time than he's seen at any other time in his career.

Flames' Zayne Parekh: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Parekh scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Parekh ended his rookie season at four goals and five assists across 37 contests. He earned seven of his nine points over the last 14 games of the season, growing in confidence as his responsibilities increased. The 20-year-old defenseman will likely be a full-time NHL option in 2026-27, and his scoring potential will give him some fantasy upside.

Flames' Morgan Frost: Strikes on power play
Rotowire
Frost scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Frost cooled off late in the season, earning just two points over the last six games. The 26-year-old still held his own in a middle-six role on a low-scoring team, earning 22 goals, 43 points (16 on the power play), 140 shots on net, 59 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating over 82 appearances. Frost will be in a contract year in 2026-27, and any improvements the team can makes to its offense should be reflected in stronger numbers for the center.

Rotowire
Farabee scored an empty-net goal on five shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

The 26-year-old winger posted 38 points, 142 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 49 hits and a minus-9 rating across 82 appearances in his first full year with the Flames, seeing ice time in all situations.

Flames' Arsenii Sergeev: Wins NHL debut
Rotowire
Sergeev stopped 27 of 28 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
This was Sergeev's NHL debut, and he showed well. The 23-year-old netminder is set to return to AHL Calgary for the Wranglers' last two games of the campaign this weekend, Ryan Pike of Flames Nation reports. Sergeev is likely at least another year or more away from getting a legitimate shot at an NHL job, as both Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley (illness) have extensions kicking in for 2026-27.
Bahl (lower body) won't play in Calgary's season finale against Los Angeles on Thursday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Bahl will complete 2025-26 with four goals, 18 points, 47 PIM, 114 hits and 99 blocks in 76 outings. Barring a trade, the 25-year-old is expected to be back with the Flames next season and continue to serve in a top-four capacity.

Flames' Connor Zary: Missing season finale
Rotowire
Zary is a little banged up and will miss Thursday's game versus the Kings due to his undisclosed injury, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Zary dealt with an upper-body injury late in the season, but it's unclear if this is a related issue. In any case, he'll end 2025-26 with 25 points over 74 appearances, taking a step back from his 27-point output over 54 outings a year ago. As long as Zary doesn't require surgery, he should be fine at the start of 2026-27.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Back in action Thursday
Rotowire
Coronato (undisclosed) will be in the lineup versus Los Angeles on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Coronato returns to action following just one game on the shelf due to his undisclosed injury. Prior to getting hurt, the New York native was riding a five-game point streak during which he notched one goal and four helpers. Unless Coronato puts up a big game Thursday, he will likely miss the 20-goal threshold this season after achieving that feat as a rookie last year.

Flames' Zach Whitecloud: Playing in finale
Rotowire
Whitecloud (upper body) will suit up in the season finale against the Kings on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Despite taking a puck to the face Tuesday, Whitecloud looks set to play while sporting a full cage versus Los Angeles. Combined with his stint in Vegas, the 29-year-old Manitoba native has logged 77 games this year, notching two goals and 13 helpers. While Whitecloud does offer some category coverage, his offensive contributions are limited, making him a low-end fantasy option in most formats.

Flames' Arsenii Sergeev: Tending twine Thursday
Rotowire
Sergeev will patrol the crease at home versus Los Angeles on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Sergeev will be making his NHL debut after having played in both the ECHL and AHL this season, in part due to the absence of Devin Cooley (illness). With the Wranglers, the 23-year-old Sergeev went 5-13-8 while carrying a 3.29 GAA. Despite the debut, Sergeev will likely need some more time developing in the minors before getting a true shot at making the Flames' roster.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Not dressing Thursday
Rotowire
Cooley (illness) will not dress for the season finale against Los Angeles on Thursday.
Cooley finishes the 2025-26 season with a 10-10-6 record. His peripherals were very good on a poor Calgary squad, as he had a 2.69 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 31 regular-season appearances. The Flames recalled Arsenii Sergeev from AHL Calgary in a corresponding move.
