Stromgren was drafted 45th overall by the Flames in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, but has yet to make a lasting impact at the NHL level. The 23-year-old made his NHL debut last season, going scoreless in three games. He has 11 points (3G / 8A) this season in 11 games with the Wranglers (AHL).

Tsyplakov has not played in over two weeks, but will re-enter the lineup on Friday against the Seattle Kraken. The 28-year-old Russian forward has one assist in six games this season.

Mikael Backlund (upper body) will not play on Thursday, allowing Jones to make his season debut against his former team. Jones played a career-high 28 games with the Minnesota Wild last season, scoring three points (1G / 2A), but has spent most of his career in the AHL. The 27-year-old forward has nine points (7G / 2A) this season in seven games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL).

Maxim Tsyplakov will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Suniev to enter the lineup for his season debut. Suniev was drafted 80th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, but has yet to make his presence felt at the NHL level. The 21-year-old spent mot of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he tallied 24 points (16G / 8A) in 57 games with the Calgary Wranglers.

Castagna was drafted in the third round of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft by the Arizona Coyotes. The 21-year-old forward made his professional debut earlier this season, tallying two goals in two games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). He spent the previous three seasons playing for Cornell University.

Tsyplakov hasn't been noticeable through his first three games with the Flames, recording only one shot on goal and a -3 plus/minus. He will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch on Thursday and be replaced by Aydar Suniev.

A day after being a healthy scratch, Yan Kuznetsov is expected to rejoin Calgary's lineup in Seattle as he takes the spot of Joel Hanley on the Flames' second pairing. The 24-year-old appeared in 57 games last season, picking up four goals, 12 points and 28 PIMs.

Othmann made his season debut on Saturday but will be the odd man out of Calgary's lineup in Seattle on Sunday as Connor Zary returns. Othmann will hope to find himself in the lineup more than not after being acquired from New York late last season and putting up two points in two games with the Flames.

Despite picking up an assist in Calgary's opening night loss, Connor Zary found himself a healthy scratch in Saturday's game vs. Vancouver, but will return to the lineup on Sunday in Seattle. The 25-year-old will hope to remain in the lineup after appearing in 75 games with the Flames last season, with 12 goals and 25 points.

Strome will rejoin Calgary's lineup for their season finale after sitting out Tuesday's game. Connor Zary (undisclosed) will sit in his place.

Matt Coronato (undisclosed) will suit up in Calgary's season finale on Thursday, sending Gross to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Gross recently made his NHL debut, scoring one goal through six games.

Rory Kerins will draw into Calgary's lineup on Tuesday, sending Strome to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Strome has been more productive since joining the Flames at the trade deadline, scoring 11 points (5G / 6A) in 18 games.
