Frost scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.
Frost cashed in at the net front on a pass from Matvei Gridin in the third period. Through three games this season, Frost has a goal, eight shots, three hits, three blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. He's functioning as the Flames' top-line center, but he probably wouldn't see much more than middle-six usage on the vast majority of other NHL teams. The role makes him a viable depth option in deep fantasy formats, but don't expect much more than the 43 points he produced in all 82 games last year.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Rough showing versus Kraken
Rotowire
Wolf allowed six goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.
The Flames' defense had a couple of breakdowns in the first period, and Wolf gave up three goals early. That was far too much to come back from. Wolf has given up 12 goals on 59 shots over two games against Seattle to begin his season, though the Flames will need to score more than one goal a game to give their goalies a chance. The Flames will have some time to recoup before hosting the Avalanche on Thursday in what is one of the most lopsided matchups on the slate early in the year.
Wolf will occupy the road crease Sunday against the Kraken, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.
Wolf get the start in the second half of a back-to-back after Devin Cooley was in net for Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks. The Kraken are also on the second half of a back-to-back -- Seattle was defeated by the Oilers on Saturday. Wolf allowed six goals on 32 shots to the Kraken in the Flames' season opener on Thursday, so the 25-year-old netminder should have plenty of motivation to put in a bounce-back performance Sunday.
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.
