The Calgary Flames are ramping up for the final stretch of the 2024-25 regular season, with their next game against the San Jose Sharks on Sunday. Recent roster moves include the call-up of defensemen Yan Kuznetsov and Ilya Solovyov from the AHL's Calgary Wranglers, indicating a strong depth in their defensive lineup. In a surprising decision, veteran Tyson Barrie was waived after a less-than-stellar season with the Flames, accumulating only three points in 13 games and a minus-7 rating. Despite this, Barrie's experience over 14 NHL seasons, with 508 career points, speaks volumes. Kuznetsov, although untested in the NHL this season, has shown promise in the AHL, registering three goals and 14 points. Solovyov, coming off a decent stint in the AHL, featured in the last game before the break and boasts six goals and 21 points in 43 games this season. Additionally, Kevin Bahl's recovery from injury could provide yet another boost to the Flames' defensive setup.
