The Calgary Flames exceeded preseason expectations, remaining in playoff contention until the final game of the season. Despite finishing with an impressive 96 points, the Flames will miss the playoffs due to a competitive Western Conference. Key players like Jonathan Huberdeau, Nazem Kadri, and rookie goalie Dustin Wolf contributed significantly, showcasing a strong team dynamic. General Manager Craig Conroy's strategy to rebuild the roster is paying off, laying a foundation for future success. With an eye on offseason improvements, including potential signings to enhance scoring, the Flames are positioned to return stronger next season.
