Coronato scored a power-play goal and went minus-4 in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.
Coronato tallied in the first period, but he was also on the ice for all of the Canucks' goals in the third. The 23-year-old winger has yet to live up to the promise that made him the 13th overall pick in 2021, but he will have plenty of opportunities to change the narrative this year. He's slated to see steady top-six minutes and top billing on the power play. Through two games, he has a goal, a minus-6 rating and two shots on net.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Loses to Canucks
Rotowire
Cooley allowed three goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Cooley didn't get any help from his offense after the first period. That didn't matter quite as much as him allowing three goals in the third to squander the narrow lead, though one had to be confirmed on video review. The 29-year-old netminder is in a tough spot this year as the backup goalie on a team expected to be near the bottom of the standings. Cooley defied the situation last year with a 2.69 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 31 games last year, but those numbers will be tough to repeat after Calgary's summer sell-off. Expect Dustin Wolf to get the nod in Seattle on Sunday.
Hurtig scored two goals in AHL Calgary's 4-2 win over Abbotsford on Saturday.
Hurtig was held scoreless in his AHL debut, but he made a huge impact in his second game. The 2023 seventh-round pick has spent his developmental years in Calgary, first with the WHL's Hitmen and now with the Wranglers. Hurtig is still a work in progress, so don't expect a significant amount of offense in his first professional season.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Slated to face Vancouver
Rotowire
Cooley is slated to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, per Eric Francis of Sportsnet.
Cooley had a 10-10-6 record, 2.69 GAA and .909 save percentage in 31 regular-season appearances with the Flames in 2025-26. He's poised to get his first start of the campaign. Vancouver averaged 6.50 goals per game in its opening two games against Edmonton.
Castagna scored twice in AHL Calgary's 4-2 win over Abbotsford on Friday.
Castagna had an excellent first professional game for the Wranglers. He was a point-per-game player for Cornell University with 15 goals and 19 assists over 34 games in 2025-26. Castagna will be given the time to develop in the AHL, but he could be an NHL option regularly in the next couple of years.

Flames' Ethan Wyttenbach: Starts season on high note
Rotowire
Wyttenbach scored twice and added an assist in Quinnipiac University's 10-2 win over the University of New Hampshire on Friday.
Wyttenbach was the top freshman in 2025-26, and his sophomore campaign is off to a strong start. The 19-year-old had 59 points in 40 games for Quinnipiac last year. If he thrives again this season, he could opt to sign an entry-level deal and turn pro for 2027-28.

Flames' Henry Mews: In lineup for NCAA opener
Rotowire
Mews (knee) is in the lineup for the University of Michigan's season opener versus Bowling Green State University on Friday, per Anna Liao of The Michigan Daily.
Mews sustained a season-ending knee injury last November, but he's now good to go for the 2026-27 campaign. He's entering his sophomore season for the Wolverines. It's unclear when the 20-year-old defenseman would consider signing an entry-level deal with the Flames.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Surrenders six goals Thursday
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 26 of 32 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.
Wolf endured a difficult season debut as Seattle scored three times on just six first-period shots. He settled down to stop all 12 shots he faced in the second, including an excellent recovery save that denied Jordan Eberle, but the Kraken broke through three more times in the third. Wolf ultimately surrendered six goals for just the third time in his NHL career and finished with an .813 save percentage in this woeful season opener.

Flames' Ryan Strome: Spoils shutout late
Rotowire
Strome scored a goal in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.
Strome provided Calgary's only offense on an otherwise miserable season-opening performance, beating Joey Daccord with a wrist shot from the top of the left circle at 16:35 of the third period. Strome is a middle-six forward and isn't likely to play a big role in the 2026-27 season, posting 21 points, 57 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 52 appearances between Calgary and Anaheim in the 2025-26 season. His role isn't expected to change in the 2026-27 campaign.
Flames' Dustin Wolf: Expected starter for Thursday
Rotowire
Wolf is set to start at home against Seattle on Thursday, per Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM.
Wolf had a 23-29-3 record, 3.01 GAA and .899 save percentage in 57 regular-season appearances with the Flames in 2025-26. He's set to once again be Calgary's No. 1 netminder this campaign. Devin Cooley will serve as the backup and is likely to get his first start of the campaign either Saturday in Vancouver or Sunday in Seattle.

Flames' Chase Harrington: Signs entry-level deal
Rotowire
Harrington signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Flames on Tuesday.
Harrington is coming off a positive showing during training camp. He also got off to a hot start in the WHL, posting three points in his season debut for Spokane on Saturday. Harrington will likely spend this season and the next one in junior hockey before making the jump to the AHL, though he could be in consideration for an NHL gig in 2027-28 if his development is fast.

Flames' Jonathan Huberdeau: Lands on IR
Rotowire
Huberdeau (hip) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM.
Huberdeau missed the final 26 games of the 2025-26 regular season. He won't be available at the beginning of the 2026-27 campaign, and it's unclear when he will be available to return.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Allows four goals Saturday
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 preseason loss to the Oilers.
Wolf faced plenty of pressure early, stopping the first seven shots he saw before Zach Hyman beat him on Edmonton's first power play. Connor McDavid and Ryan Shea added second-period goals before Kasperi Kapanen converted a third-period breakaway to complete the scoring. Wolf made several strong saves throughout the game, including an early glove stop on Leon Draisaitl, but at the end of the day, Calgary struggled to contain an Edmonton lineup featuring most of its top offensive players. Wolf is slated to open the season as the Flames' No. 1 goaltender, so he should be between the pipes for the regular-season opener against Seattle on Thursday.

Flames' Chase Harrington: Strong in junior season debut
Rotowire
Harrington scored a goal on six shots and added two assists in WHL Spokane's 3-2 win over Tri-City on Saturday.
Harrington got a decent look during the Flames' camp before heading back to the junior ranks. The 18-year-old put together a strong season debut to lead Spokane to the win. Harrington was a second-round pick in 2026 after his 57-point effort across 61 regular-season outings last year.

Flames' Alexander Nylander: Sent to waivers
Rotowire
Nylander was placed on waivers by the Flames on Saturday, per PuckPedia.
Nylander signed a two-way deal with the Flames on Friday, and will start his new contract serving in the minors. The 28-year-old winger was an effective option with AHL Toronto a season ago, where he posted 24 goals and 53 points across 65 regular-season games. He is likely set to play a large role with AHL Calgary to open the 2026-27 season, but could factor into the NHL roster as well if the team experiences any injuries.
