Calgary Flames Player News

In his rookie season in 2024-25, Wolf finished as the runner-up for the Calder Trophy after posting an impressive 2.64 GAA and .910 SV% in 53 games (29-16-8). That said, he took a disappointing step back in 2025-26, as did his entire Flames team, posting a subpar 3.01 GAA and .899 SV% in 57 outings (23-29-3). The 25-year-old goalie will hope to rebound in 2026-27, starting with the season opener on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken. The Flames enter the action with even -105 odds at home.

Huberdeau has been out since February 4th of last season due to a hip injury and is not expected to be ready for the start of Calgary’s training camp. The 33-year-old has struggled since arriving in Calgary four years ago, averaging just 15.5 goals and 48.5 points after finishing above 90+ points twice while previously in Florida. Calgary is still hopeful to have Huberdeau healthy and ready for the regular season, but the 14-year pro is already behind the eight ball with the latest news.

Nemec was acquired from New Jersey in late June for a bundle of early round draft picks and has now agreed to stay in Calgary for the next five seasons after signing a five-year contract worth $7.25 million AAV ($36.25M total). The 22-year-old former 2nd overall pick (2022 NHL Draft) is entering his fourth NHL season after putting up career highs in nearly all categories last year with 11 goals, 26 points, 26 PIMs and 101 SOG in 68 games played.

Middleton has spent the past five seasons with the Minnesota Wild, but will have a change of scenery to start the 2026-27 season as he heads to the Calgary Flames. The 31-year-old defenseman averaged 17:30 time-on-ice, recording 16 points (2G / 14A), 87 hits, and 117 blocks in 75 games last season.

Livingston is an undrafted defenseman who has spent his entire post-Minnesota State University career in the AHL, minus a brief five-game stint with the Nashville Predators. The 27-year-old scored 17 points (3G / 14A) last season in 52 games with the Charlotte Checkers (AHL).

Stromgren was drafted 45th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old Swedish forward made his NHL debut last season, playing three games, after being an effective contributor at the AHL level for three seasons.

Jones has primarily been an AHL player, but a myriad of injuries for the Minnesota Wild helped him draw into a career-high 28 games last season. The 27-year-old forward hopes he can get another extended look at NHL action in 2026-27, joining the Calgary Flames on a one-year contract.

Benning was a fourth-round pick of the Florida Panthers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft who made his NHL debut in the 2025-26 season. The 24-year-old defenseman averaged 16:54 time-on-ice and scored six points (2G / 4A) last season in 18 games with the Panthers.

With four NHL games under his belt, Calgary has signed Sam Morton to a one-year, two-way contract extension on Friday. The 26-year-old undrafted forward is expected to compete for a spot on Calgary's roster out of training camp after a successful second campaign with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), which saw him put up 17 goals and 38 points in 68 games played.

Calgary cleaned up some in house signings on Friday after it was announced the team had signed AHL standout Rory Kerins to a one-year, two-way contract extension. The 24-year-old forward has been the Wranglers (AHL) most productive player for the better part of two seasons, picking up 22 goals and 57 points in 56 games in 2025-26 and finishing 25th in AHL scoring. He is expected to compete for a bottom-six role in Calgary this upcoming season.
