Calgary Flames Aim for Playoffs with Revamped Young Roster

The Flames enter the 2024-25 NHL season with a youthful lineup and low external expectations, hoping to surprise critics and secure a playoff spot.

Calgary's roster transformation includes a younger, more cost-effective team, just above the salary cap floor.
The Flames begin the season without last year's top scorer, Yegor Sharangovich, due to a lower-body injury.
Key veterans, including Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman, emphasize leadership and playoff aspirations.
The team's goalie position remains competitive, with Dan Vladar and Dustin Wolf vying for the starting role.
Former standout Jonathan Huberdeau returns with renewed focus, aiming to elevate his performance.
