Flames Prospects Sweep Oilers in Two-Game Showcase

The sweep closes prospect camp with main-camp invitations expected within days.

Overview

  • Calgary won 5-4 on Sunday at the Scotiabank Saddledome after a 6-5 victory on Friday in Edmonton to take the series 2-0.
  • Matvei Gridin was a key offensive contributor for Calgary and earned player-of-the-game honors in the finale.
  • Hunter Laing scored the eventual winner on a power play as Calgary combined scoring depth with heavy physical play from Mace'o Phillips and Axel Hurtig.
  • Goaltender Arsenii Sergeev made a standout late-first-period save but was criticized for inconsistent puck tracking and a shaky overall showing.
  • Evaluations were influenced by absences tied to collegiate and European commitments, with precautionary scratches such as Zayne Parekh, who is expected to participate in main camp.
