Coronato is expected to draw back into Calgary's lineup in Toronto on Tuesday.

Adam Klapka will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, allowing Coronato to re-enter the lineup. After a breakout 2024-25 season, scoring 47 points (24G / 23A) in 77 games, Coronato has struggled to find that same scoring prowess in 2025-26, limited to only three points (2G / 1A) through nine games.

Wolf was in the starter's crease at Calgary's morning skate.

Wolf has been a workhorse for the Flames early in the 2025-26 season, as the team is desperately relying on him in hopes of working their way out of the Western Conference basement after a dreadful 2-7-1 start. The 24-year-old Wolf has started nine of 10 games for the Flames, including both ends of multiple back-to-backs, but has failed to recapture his magic from a season ago when he was the runner-up for the Calder trophy. Wolf has a 3.37 GAA and .886 SV% in nine games this season (2-6-1). The Flames enter Tuesday's contest as +157 road underdogs against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).

Wolf will start in Winnipeg on Friday.

Wolf put together arguably his best start of the 2025-26 season on Wednesday, saving 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%), but was unable to shake the Flames' losing ways, falling 2-1 in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens, extending their losing skid to seven games (0-6-1). After finishing the 2024-25 season as the runner-up for the Calder Trophy, Wolf has struggled early this season, posting a 3.61 GAA and .875 SV% in seven games (1-5-1). The Flames enter Friday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team that was defeated 3-0 by the Seattle Kraken last night.

Sharangovich is expected to draw back into Calgary's lineup in Winnipeg on Friday.

Justin Kirkland will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets, allowing Sharangovich to return from a two-game absence. After a breakout first season with the Flames in 2023-24, scoring 59 points (31G / 28A), the 27-year-old Sharangovich has had trouble reclaiming that scoring touch. He is averaging 14:38 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in six games this season.

Hunt has been recalled from the Calgary Wranglers (AHL).

Hunt has spent most of the previous three seasons in the AHL, but is no stranger to the NHL, with 235 career games, scoring 54 points (18G / 36A). The 29-year-old forward started the season with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), where he scored six points (2G / 4A) in four games.

Wolf will start vs. Montreal on Wednesday.

The Flames continue to struggle, riding a six-game losing skid (0-6-0), but continue to roll with Wolf, who will tend the twine on Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens. Wolf has failed to live up to the high standards he set for himself as last season's runner-up for the Calder Trophy, but is coming off his best performance of the season, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in a 2-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. The 24-year-old Wolf has a 3.91 GAA and .866 SV% in six games (1-5-0). Calgary enters Wednesday's contest as +107 home underdogs against a 5-2-0 Montreal team.

Wolf will start in Winnipeg on Monday.

The Flames are off to a very disappointing 1-5-0 start to the 2025-26 season and will be test on Monday, hoping Wolf can shut the door against the Winnipeg Jets. Wolf was the runner-up for the Calder trophy last season but has struggled early this season. The 24-year-old goalie has an ugly 4.30 GAA and .854 SV% in five games this season (1-4-0). The Flames enter Monday's contest as +128 home underdogs against a Jets team riding a four-game winning streak.

Gridin has been assigned to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL).

Gridin has been assigned to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) in a move to help accommodate activating Jonathan Huberdeau (undisclosed) off of Injured Reserve. The 19-year-old Gridin made his NHL debut last week and has recorded one goal in four games with the Flames this season.

Huberdeau (undisclosed) has been activated from IR.

Huberdeau has not played Calgary's first five games due to an undisclosed injury, but he has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to draw into the lineup on Saturday against the Vegas Golden Knights. He is expected to suit up on a line with Nazem Kadri and Joel Farabee. The 32-year-old Huberdeau averaged 19:33 time-on-ice and had 62 points (28G / 34A) in 81 games last season, his most productive campaign with the Flames.
