MacKenzie Weegar played a pivotal role in the Flames' recent victory over the Rangers, contributing three assists. His performance has sparked calls for his inclusion on Canada's national team for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-off, with Huberdeau highlighting Weegar's skill and competitiveness. Weegar, who was instrumental in Canada’s gold medal win at the 2023 men’s world championship, has recorded 11 points in 20 games this season, showcasing his growth in his second year with Calgary. Despite dealing with an undisclosed issue that kept him from practice, he made a significant impact against a top defensive team. Head coach Ryan Huska also expressed strong support for Weegar's potential selection for the national team, praising his ability to excel in critical tournament settings.
