The Calgary Flames are entering the 2024-25 NHL season with a revamped roster, aiming to turn around after missing the playoffs for two consecutive years. With a younger team and lower expectations, players like Blake Coleman and captain Mikael Backlund are optimistic about their chances.
Despite losing leading scorer Yegor Sharangovich to injury, young talents such as Connor Zary and Matt Coronato are stepping up. The team’s success will heavily rely on the performance of veterans like Backlund, Coleman, and Jonathan Huberdeau.
As the Flames navigate their goaltending situation, they are also looking forward to key matchups, including a return of former goalie Jacob Markstrom with the New Jersey Devils.
