On one hand, the Flames played some of the best hockey we’ve seen them play in two chunks – an 11-2-3 run over the final 16 games of the 2024-25 season that saw them fall just short of a playoff spot, and a 16-9-2 run starting in early November that may have helped salvage their 2025-25 season.

On the other hand, the Flames missed the 2025 playoffs due to a couple of losses in St. Louis in January, and they made enough miscues early in October to get out to a 2-9-2 start. Due to a lack of game-breaking (or game-stealing) offensive talent, the Flames are a team that has really thin margins in games and thus very little wiggle room, so a few mistakes on their side can cause games to slip away.

By the numbers

The Flames played 85 games in 2025 going 41-33-11 with 93 points and a .547 points percentage. They were 22-13-5 at home and 19-20-6 on the road. (The most games the Flames have ever played in a calendar year was 91 in 2022, which was a result of a COVID-19 outbreak in December 2021 causing some games to get postponed into the 2022 side of that season.)

Their longest winning streak was five games, covering the final four games of the 2024-25 season and the 2025-26 season-opener. Their longest losing streak was eight games (0-7-1) spanning Oct. 9-24.

Team leaders

Two Flames played in every game in 2025: Blake Coleman and Nazem Kadri.

Kadri also dominated the offensive leaderboard for the club, leading in goals (29), assists (44), points (73) even-strength goals (20), even-strength points (46), power-play goals (9, tied with Jonathan Huberdeau), power play points (27), overtime goals (2) and shots (273).

Coleman shared the lead in plus/minus with Mikael Backlund (+15). He led the team in shorthanded goals (4) and shorthanded points (5). Huberdeau led the team in game-winning goals (6), taking the lead on New Year’s Eve.

MacKenzie Weegar led the team in minutes played by a skater with 2,037:27.

As you would expect, Dustin Wolf dominated the goaltender leaderboard in 2025. He played the most games (65), logged the most minutes (3,732:53) and led the Flames in wins (31) and shutouts (3).

All-told, the Flames used three different goaltenders and 37 different skaters in 2025. Making their NHL debuts with the Flames during the calendar year were Hunter Brzustewicz, Matvei Gridin, Rory Kerins, Sam Morton, Zayne Parekh and Aydar Suniev.

Single game standouts

The Flames had three-point performances by players in 2025, four of them by Rasmus Andersson. Five of those three-point nights were three-assist games – three by Andersson, and one apiece for Weegar and Connor Zary. No Flames played recorded a hat trick in 2025, but they had 18 two-goal performances.

Weegar played 28:56 on Mar. 1 against Florida, representing the most minutes played by a skater in a single game. Of the top 10 ice time logged by players in individual games, eight of them were by Weegar and the other two were by Andersson.

Wolf’s 42 save performance on Nov. 5 against Columbus was the single-game high by a Flames netminder.
