Pospisil will slot into the Flames' lineup on Tuesday as they look to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Ryan Lomberg will sit in his place.

Wolf has not been able to live up to the high standards he set as a rookie in the 2024-25 season, when he finished as the runner-up for the Calder Trophy. His struggles have been epitomized by his last two starts (1-1-0), during which he allowed eight goals on 46 combined shots (.826 SV%). The 24-year-old Wolf has a concerning sub- .900 SV% in nine of his last 14 outings (4-9-1). The Flames enter the action on Tuesday as +112 road underdogs against a New York Rangers team that played last night and won 6-2 over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Whitecloud has been a pleasant addition to Calgary's blueline since being acquired via trade, but he will miss some time, starting with Monday's game against the Washington Capitals. The 29-year-old defenseman is averaging a career-high 22:03 time-on-ice and has four assists in 14 games with the Flames.

Matvei Gridin will draw back into the Flames' lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals, sending Pospisil to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Slovak, Pospisil, is averaging 10:34 time-on-ice, recording 34 hits and two points (1G / 1A) in 11 games this season.

One of the downfalls of playing for the Calgary Flames, the NHL's lowest-scoring team (2.50 GF / GP), is that Devin Cooley's modest 7-7-4 record does not do justice to how impressive he has been between the pipes this season. The 28-year-old Cooley is coming off another excellent outing, albeit another loss, 4-1 to the Ottawa Senators, but he saved 33 of 35 shots (.943 SV%) in the process. Amazingly, Cooley leads all goalies this season in save percentage (.923 SV%) and quality starts (.833). Still, the Flames enter Monday's contest as +175 road underdogs against a Washington Capitals team on a three-game losing streak (0-3-0).

Gridin returns from playing one game in the AHL with the Wranglers, and will draw back into the Flames' lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. The 20-year-old Gridin is averaging 14:18 time-on-ice and has seven points (3G / 4A) in 18 games with the Flames this season. Martin Pospisil will exit the lineup as a healthy scratch.

Gridin has been a regular for the Flames in recent weeks, but he will play at least one game with the Wranglers, ensuring he is an option for them in the AHL playoffs. The 20-year-old Gridin has seven points (3G / 4A) in 18 games with the Flames this season.

Curran was a fifth round pick of the Colorado Avalanche in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft that has impressed over the past two seasons in the WHL. The 19-year-old Czech forward has 41 points (14G / 27A) through 31 games with the Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL) this season.

Othmann was drafted 16th overall by the New York Rangers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old forward has yet to make the full-time jump to the NHL level and scored only one point (1G / 0A) in 17 games with the Rangers this season.

Strome has one year remaining on his contract after this season and hopes that a change of scenery can help him improve his offensive production after a trade to the Calgary Flames. After five consecutive seasons with over 40 points, the 32-year-old Strome has struggled in the 2025-26 season with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring only eight points (3G / 6A) through 33 games.

Pospisil has not played since February 28th, but he will re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators, drawing in for John Beecher. The 26-year-old Pospisil is averaging 10:17 time-on-ice and remains in search of his first point through nine games.
