Parekh is expected to draw back into Calgary's lineup on Tuesday vs. Dallas.

Parekh did not play in Calgary's previous game, but he will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars, replacing Brayden Pachal. The 20-year-old Parekh, the ninth-overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, has yet to make his presence felt at the NHL level, with just one assist through 15 games this season.

Wolf will start vs. Dallas on Tuesday.

Wolf was outstanding in his most recent outing, saving 35 of 36 shots (.972 SV%), but received no goal support in a 2-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The 24-year-old sophomore goalie has been terrific since returning from the Olympic break, saving 69 of 71 shots (.972 SV%) in two games (1-1-0). The Flames enter the action on Tuesday against a Dallas Stars team that played last night, defeating the Vancouver Canucks 6-1 to extend their franchise-best winning streak to nine games.

Wolf will start in San Jose on Thursday.

Wolf has had an inconsistent 2025-26 campaign and hopes the extended Olympic break can help him reset and return to the form that saw him finish as the runner-up for the Calder Trophy in the 2024-25 season. The 24-year-old Wolf entered the break by allowing four or more goals in seven of his last 10 games (2-7-1), posting an ugly 3.51 GAA and .881 SV%, and was largely outplayed by counterpart Devin Cooley. The Flames enter Thursday's contest as +112 road underdogs against a Sharks team they defeated 3-2 in their previous meeting.

Strome will be a healthy scratch vs. Edmonton on Wednesday.

With Leo Carlsson (lower body) returning to Anaheim's lineup, Strome will be the odd man out on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. After five consecutive seasons with over 40 points, the 32-year-old Strome has struggled in the 2025-26 season with the Ducks, scoring only eight points (3G / 5A) through 32 games.

Huberdeau will undergo season-ending hip resurfacing surgery.

Huberdeau scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers, but the Flames announced on Thursday morning that Huberdeau will undergo hip resurfacing surgery, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. The 32-year-old Huberdeau was have a sluggish season, with 25 points (10G / 15A) through 50 games, but ends his 2025-26 campaign with four points (1G / 3A) in his last five outings.

Cooley will start vs. Edmonton on Wednesday.

Cooley has lost three straight games (0-2-1), but continues to be a reliable presence in Calgary's crease, posting a 2.29 GAA and .924 SV% in those outings. Dating back to late December, the 28-year-old goalie has a dazzling 2.00 GAA and .933 SV% in his last six games (3-2-1). Still, the Flames enter the action on Wednesday as +116 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team that played last night and lost 5-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
