| C | 1 | Matthew Stajan  ActiveMatthew Stajan is happy with how he did in 2013. "I think it was my best year personally," Stajan said. "The coaching staff showed a lot of confidence in me early in the season and gave me an opportunity. I really appreciated that and wanted to make the best of it. I felt like I did a pretty good job." Stajan had five goals and 23 points in 43 games after recording just 18 points in 61 contests in 2011-12. It's certainly a step up, but we don't anticipate him having much fantasy value in standard leagues next season. May 1 |
| 2 | Mikael Backlund  ActiveMikael Backlund has a right foot fracture and won't play for Sweden in the world championships. Backlund had eight goals and 16 points in 32 games this season, although it's now fair to wonder how long he's been playing with this injury considering he played through the final game of the year. Backlund is scheduled for restricted free agency this summer and this injury certainly won't help his case. Regardless, the former first-round pick is unlikely to have any fantasy value in most formats. Apr 29 |
| 3 | Roman Horak  ActiveFlames forward Roman Horak gained valuable experience in the NHL this season and is hoping to be a larger contributor next season. "This summer is going to be huge. Hopefully, next year I can be a part of this team," said Horak, who is one of the top prospects in the Calgary system. Apr 28 |
| 4 | Steve Begin  SidelinedSteve Begin, 34, is the Calgary Flames nominee for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, as chosen by the Calgary Chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association. The Masterton goes to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey and the league award has been won by a pair of Calgary Flames in the past. Those winners were Lanny McDonald and Gary Roberts. "When you love the game, it’s easy," said Begin, who has collected four goals and eight points in 36 games this season. "When you like playing hockey, it’s like a kid in a candy store. You just go out and have fun. That’s what hockey is about. If you like what you’re doing, it makes it easier for you." Apr 24 |
| 5 | Max Reinhart  ActiveMax Reinhart, who scored his first NHL goal on Saturday was minus-26 in the AHL when he was recalled a week ago. Reinhart was third worst in the AHL, a stat that caused Calgary coach Bob Hartley to chuckle when talking to his young center. "The first couple of games (in the NHL), he was feeling his way," Hartley said. "I brought him in and I said ‘Max, you have to jump. You have to take advantage of this.’ I said, ‘Let’s face it, there's not too many kids with a minus-26 rating being called up from the American League,’ and he started to laugh. I said, ‘Never mind this. You're in the NHL. We don't care. We're going to work with you. We're going to teach you, but show passion. Show that you like the game.’ So far, he's showing lots of great things to us." Reinhart has a minus-one rating in five NHL games so far. Apr 15 |
| 6 | Blair Jones  ActiveBlair Jones will get back into Calgary's lineup Wednesday night after being called up from the minors on Tuesday. He was originally assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Feb. 21 after skating in 11 games with the Flames. Coach Bob Hartley wants Jones to be active in the forecheck and be "an up-and-down player." Apr 10 |
| 7 | Paul Byron  ActivePaul Byron (fractured hand) was activated from the IL on Sunday. Byron has had a tough NHL campaign as he fractured his hand in his season debut on Feb. 13 when he was slashed by then Dallas Star Derek Roy. He played 14:57 minutes with one shot on goal and a couple of hits. Apr 22 |
| 8 | Ben Street  ActiveBen Street was called up from the minors on Sunday. Street played 14:21 minutes with a couple of shots on net. He has no fantasy value. Apr 22 |
| LW | 1 | Alex Tanguay  ActiveAlex Tanguay admitted that he was distracted the last month of the season after teammates Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester were dealt away. Tanguay missed the last two weeks of the season with a medial collateral ligament sprain in his knee. "I was playing pretty good the first 20 to 25 games of the year, and then when the distraction came about, I think mentally I got a little bit affected by it," Tanguay said. "And that's on me. You have to be a professional. You have to play your best every night. But I've got some good years of hockey ahead of me, and I'm hoping that I can be a key contributor in this organization." Tanguay has three years left on his contract at $3.5 million per season and could be a candidate to be bought out by the Flames. Stay tuned. Apr 29 |
| 2 | Lee Stempniak  ActiveLee Stempniak had a goal and an assist in Calgary's 5-2 victory on Wednesday. Stempniak has taken a step up this season with seven goals and 18 points in 25 games this season. If this wasn't a shortened season, he would be on pace to set a new career-high with 59 points. As it is, Stempniak is looking like a good bet to surpass the 30-point mark in 2013. Mar 14 |
| 3 | Curtis Glencross  SidelinedCurtis Glencross will miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. Glencross suffered the injury in Friday's win over Anaheim after he was hit by Ducks defenseman Ben Lovejoy in a knee-on-knee collision. "I don’t have the medical terms but he’s not coming on the trip. Not good," saod coach Bob Hartley when asked about the forward. Glencross ends the season with 15 goals in 40 games, which is likely more than his fantasy owners expected at the start of the campaign. Apr 21 |
| 4 | Sven Baertschi  ActiveSven Baertschi was the only Calgary goal scorer in a 4-1 loss to the Blues Thursday. Baertschi has enjoyed a late-season scoring streak, notching three goals and six assists over a seven game span. Jiri Hudler drew the only assist on the marker. Apr 26 |
| 5 | Ben Hanowski  ActiveCalgary newcomer Ben Hanowski, a Minnesota native, scored in his National Hockey League debut Monday night in the Flames' 4-3 loss to the Wild. Hanowski grew up cheering for the Wild. Also scoring goals for Calgary Monday were Jiri Hudler (ninth) and rookie Sven Baertschi (second). Apr 15 |
| 6 | Carter Bancks  ActiveCarter Bancks may be making his NHL debut on Tuesday. Bancks has spent the last three seasons with Abbotsford of the AHL and had five goals and 12 points in 53 games. He has been practicing alongside Akim Aliu and Paul Byron and with the Flames eliminated from the post-season, they are giving some of their minor leaguers a look see down the stretch. "I'm already pretty nervous just coming to practices," the undrafted Bancks said. "I mean, I've worked my whole life for this opportunity. It hasn't always been the easiest way for me . . . but it's definitely worth it to come up here for this last week. It's already been a tonne of fun, a great experience." Stay tuned. Apr 23 |
| 7 | Brian McGrattan  ActiveBrian McGrattan made a big splash in his return from a shoulder injury. The Flames' tough guy, who had been sidelined the last two weeks, had a game to remember. He scored the winning goal in Calgary's 3-1 defeat of Anaheim and was selected as the game's third star. Not too shabby considering McGrattan only was on the ice for 10:08 and 15 shifts. Apr 20 |
| RW | 1 | Jiri Hudler  ActiveJiri Hudler recorded an assist on Thursday. Hudler has 10 goals and 27 points in 42 games this season. His season got off to a good start, but he ended up being somewhat streaky in 2013 and never remarkably good. This is season one of his four-year, $16 million contract. Apr 26 |
| 2 | Michael Cammalleri  ActiveMichael Cammalleri underwent some dental work on Sunday. Cammalleri was injured during the lockout when Steve Stamkos took a shot that knocked out his front teeth. Cammalleri has one year remaining on his contract with a cap hit of $5.968 million while receiving $7 million so he could be dealt or bought out in the off-season, if the Flames are looking to pare salary. Apr 29 |
| 3 | Akim Aliu  ActiveAkim Aliu has been called up by Calgary. He's expected to play Saturday night with Alex Tanguay out with a knee injury. Aliu has no points and 10 penalty minutes in two appearances with the Flames this season. Apr 13 |
| 4 | Tim Jackman  ActiveTim Jackman had his best fantasy game of the season on Saturday. The big winger had two assists, six shots on goal and seven hits in the Flames 4-1 win over Edmonton. He now has a goal and four assists with 33 shots on goal and 55 penalty minutes in 37 games. He has 17 SOG in his last seven games after getting only 16 in his first 30. Apr 15 |
| D | 1 | Mark Giordano  ActiveMark Giordano was the Calgary Flames' nominee for the King Clancy trophy, which goes to the player "that best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy contribution in his community." Giordano does a ton of charity work off the ice, from golf tournaments to working with Habitat for Humanity. He was also one of the Flames who refused to pack it in and tank for a better shot at the top pick in draft at the end of the season. The winner will be announced at the NHL awards show during the Stanley Cup final. May 7 |
| 2 | Dennis Wideman  ActiveDennis Wideman returned to action on Tuesday from a broken finger. He had two shots and a minus-1 rating in just over 24 minutes of ice time after missing only two games with the ailment. Apr 24 |
| 3 | Chris Butler  ActiveChris Butler potted a goal in the Flames' 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks Friday night. Butler was drafted by the Sabres in 2005 and spent parts of three seasons with Buffalo in a limited role before moving on with the Flames. He's not expected to have any fantasy value in standard leagues next season. Apr 26 |
| 4 | Derek Smith  I.L.Derek Smith (upper body) has been placed on the injured reserve list. Smith suffered the injury on March 23, and then played on April 1 but has yet to play since. He has no fantasy value with only one assist in 22 games. Apr 8 |
| 5 | T.J. Brodie  ActiveT.J. Brodie was thrilled to be invited to join Team Canada for the upcoming World Championships by GM Steve Yzerman. Brodie grew up a Red Wings fan and a Steve Yzerman fan to boot so the phone call meant a lot to the 21-year-old defenseman. "It's sort of weird watching him growing up and being so close to Detroit and stuff," Brodie said. "To talk to him on the phone is sort of a weird feeling, I guess. Watching your idol and getting to talk to him it's a cool experience." A fourth round pick in the 2008 Draft, Brodie had two goals and 14 points in 47 games while averaging over 20 minutes of action per game. He is worth a selection late in deep pools next season. Apr 29 |
| 6 | Cory Sarich  ActiveCory Sarich suffered a broken nose Sunday when he got into a fight with Minnesota's Clayton Stoner. Sarich managed to practice Monday and is likely to play on Tuesday. "I'm fine," Sarich said. "It's a little tender. I don't think I'd want to take one off it again any time soon. Other than that, it's all right." Sarich has not played a lot this season and has only two assists in 27 games. Apr 23 |
| 7 | Anton Babchuk  ActiveSportsnet reports that the Calgary Flames are trying to trade defensemen Anton Babchuk and Cory Sarich. The two blueliners are like many other Flames players: they have no-trade clauses. Chances are, they'll take a chance to play elsewhere, however ... if some team wants them for some reason. Mar 24 |
| G | 1 | Miikka Kiprusoff  ActiveCurtis Glencross thinks that Miikka Kiprusoff will retire. "He's kind of said that he's pretty much done, I think," Glencross said. "Unless something changes over the summer here or the next couple of weeks, just talking to him, I don't think he'll be back." Other teammates such as Lee Stempniak and Joey MacDonald aren't as sure, but it may be that we have seen the last of Miikka Kiprusoff in the Calgary cage. Apr 29 |
| 2 | Joey MacDonald  ActiveJoey MacDonald says he's feeling better after going to the hospital on a stretcher following Friday's loss to the Blackhawks. MacDonald returned to Calgary on Saturday and there appears to be no lingering effects from the incident. The 33-year-old netminder could be in position to compete for Calgary's starting job next season if Miikka Kiprusoff retires as many expect. Apr 30 |
