Calgary Flames News

The Flames find themselves on another three-game losing skid and will turn to Wolf on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks as they attempt to return to the win column and inch themselves out of the NHL basement. Wolf was serviceable in his most recent outing, but was on the wrong side of a 3-2 score against the St. Louis Blues despite saving 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%). The 24-year-old Wolf is sporting a subpar 3.24 GAA and .893 SV% in 15 games (4-10-1). That said, the Flames enter Thursday's contest as -155 home favorites against a Sharks team riding a four-game winning streak.

Kerins made his NHL debut last season, scoring four points (0G / 4A) in five games with the Flames, but has primarily been an AHL player. The 23-year-old sixth-round draft pick has 14 points (5G / 9A) in 13 games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) this season.

Miromanov was recalled last week but did not draw into the Flames lineup. He returns to the Wranglers (AHL), where he has four points (1G / 3A) in seven games this season.

Calgary's woes continue in the 2025-26 season, with another two-game losing streak, including being shut out in both games. The team will turn to Wolf on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. Wolf was the runner-up for last season's Calder Trophy, but has been inconsistent to start the season, a byproduct of poor team play by the Flames. The 24-year-old goalie has a 3.26 GAA and .892 SV% in 14 games this season (4-9-1). The last-place Flames (4-11-2) enter Tuesday's contest as +132 road underdogs against a Blues team (5-8-3) that ranks only marginally better than them in the standings.

Beecher left Thursday's game with an upper-body injury and will miss Saturday's game in Toronto. Jeffrey Viel will draw into the lineup to replace him on the fourth line.

Bahl showed no signs of an ailment in Calgary's most recent game, playing 20:34 time-on-ice, but will miss his first game of the season on Friday due to an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old Bahl has three points (1G / 2A) and leads a defensively porous Flames team with a +6 plus/minus through 15 games.

Parekh has played 10 games this season for the Flames, burning the first year of his entry-level contract, ensuring he will spend the season in the NHL, but remains in a position where he is being used sparingly. The 19-year-old Parekh has not had the opportunity to fully showcase his talents in his first NHL season, scoring only one point (0G / 1A) through 10 games in a sheltered role.

The Calgary Flames remain at the bottom of the NHL standings with only 10 points through 15 games (4-9-2), but have shown improvement lately and are riding a two-game winning streak. The team's uptick in play relates directly to Dustin Wolf, who has been spectacular during their winning streak, saving 59 of 61 combined shots in those two games. The 24-year-old hopes to continue improving his totals after a poor start to the season, posting a 3.19 GAA and .895 SV% in 13 games (4-8-1). The Flames enter Friday's contest as -153 home favorites against a Chicago Blackhawks team that has lost three of its last four (1-3-0).

Zayne Parekh and Jake Bean will be healthy scratches on Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, allowing Brayden Pachal and Yan Kuznetsov to draw into Calgary's lineup. Kuznetsov was drafted 50th-overall by the Flames in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old defenseman made his NHL debut in 2023-24, playing one game with the Flames, but has otherwise exclusively been in the AHL for the previous four seasons.

Parekh just played his 10th game of the season for the Flames, burning the first year of his entry-level contract, and ensuring he will spend the season in the NHL.
