The Calgary Flames are facing significant challenges this season, marked by a notable roster turnover and a lack of scoring depth. With key players like Matthew Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau no longer on the team, the Flames currently rank 26th in goals per game and have a troubling minus-13 goal differential.

Despite the struggles, forwards Jonathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri have shown signs of improvement, each scoring 12 goals. However, the team needs more from Andrei Kuzmenko and Yegor Sharangovich to boost their offensive output. As they prepare for a crucial game against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Flames remain in the wildcard race.
