    Flames' Walker Duehr: Takes step back in 2023-24

    Duehr finished 2023-24 with seven points over 40 contests.

    Duehr played in a career-high number of games, but his production dropped from 2022-23 (11 points in 27 outings). The path to playing time doesn't get easier as more of the Flames' prospects become NHL ready. The 26-year-old winger has rarely been more than a fourth-liner in his career, and he'll have to compete for that spot in training camp in the fall.

  • Flames' Daniil Miromanov: Puts up assist in win

    Miromanov notched an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

    Miromanov held his own as a top-four option once he was traded from the Golden Knights to the Flames, earning seven points over 20 contests. He also saw power-play time, where he earned two of his four assists. The 26-year-old defenseman signed a two-year extension with the Flames in March, so it's clear he's part of the team's plans on the blue line for 2024-25 with the aim of being a full-time NHLer.

  • Jake McCabe D | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe: On ice Friday

    McCabe (rest) was at practice Friday, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports.

    McCabe will start Game 1 versus Boston on Saturday on the second pairing, alongside Simon Benoit. McCabe had eight goals, 20 assists, 56 PIM, 129 blocked shots and 219 hits in 73 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.

  • Flames' Martin Pospisil: Provides assist in win

    Pospisil notched an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and four PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

    Pospisil didn't score a goal over the last nine games of the season, but he added six assists. The 24-year-old concludes his rookie campaign with 24 points, 238 hits, 107 PIM, 117 shots on goal and a plus-14 rating through 63 games. He'll need to improve his technique with his aggressive play to avoid suspensions, but Pospisil could grow into being a hard-nosed power winger in the Flames' middle six.

  • Flames' Andrew Mangiapane: Offers helper

    Mangiapane recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

    Mangiapane was able to achieve a 40-point season for the third straight year, earning 14 goals and 26 assists over 75 appearances. The winger also put up 122 shots on net, 89 hits, 47 PIM and a plus-7 rating despite seeing middle-six minutes. Mangiapane's proven at this point to be a solid all-situations winger, but he rarely stands out in any one area.

  • Connor Zary C | CGY

    Flames' Connor Zary: Manages assist in win

    Zary logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

    Zary had a strong finish in 2023-24, posting two goals and two helpers over the final five contests. The 22-year-old rookie had a solid campaign with 14 goals, 20 helpers, 90 shots on net and a plus-12 rating while seeing middle-six minutes for much of the year. Zary is one of the Flames' top prospects and will look to take a step forward in 2024-25, giving him appeal as a depth option in most fantasy formats if he can improve his power-play production and shoot the puck more often.

  • Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Back in lineup

    Rielly (rest) was back at practice Friday, per Jonas Siegel of The Athletic.

    Rielly was rested Wednesday in the Maple Leafs' finale versus Tampa Bay. He finished the regular season with seven goals and 51 assists in 72 appearances. He will play alongside Ilya Lyubushkin and quarterback the first power play.

  • Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Earns 200th career point

    Andersson logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

    The helper was Andersson's 200th career point. The defenseman fell short of the 40-point mark for the first time in three years, ending 2023-24 with nine goals, 30 helpers, 159 shots on net, 186 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 78 appearances. Despite the drop in offense, he remains a top-four defenseman capable of taking minutes in all situations heading into 2024-25.

  • Max Domi C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Back at practice Friday

    Domi (undisclosed) returned to practice Friday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

    Domi missed the final two games of the regular season, but he is primed and ready to play in Game 1 versus Boston on Saturday. Domi was back on the top line, alongside Auston Matthews and Tyler Bertuzzi, where he excelled the last month of the season. Domi ended the campaign with nine goals and 38 assists in 80 games -- including a goal and 12 points in his last 13 appearances with Matthews and Bertuzzi.

  • Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Supplies assist Thursday

    Kuzmenko registered an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

    Kuzmenko was one of the top players in April with seven goals and six assists over nine contests. The 28-year-old winger had more points in 29 games with the Flames (25) than he had in 43 contests with the Canucks (21) prior to a midseason trade. He added 121 shots on net and a minus-9 rating this season. Kuzmenko's offense can be streaky, but he could be a top-six fit for the Flames heading into 2024-25.
