Trade rumours have been at the forefront of the news cycle for the Calgary Flames this season. Such is the case when you’re sitting last place in the NHL despite calling yourself a playoff team.

Blake Coleman scored twice for the Flames on Sunday, Nazem Kadri had a goal and an assist, and goalie Dustin Wolf made 30 saves. The win over the Rangers came after Calgary had been outscored 31–12 during its losing streak.

Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary provided some rather candid words following his team's big win over the New York Rangers.

What a difference a year makes, eh? A year ago, Sam Honzek made the Calgary Flames’ opening night roster right out of training camp and made his NHL debut a month before his 20th birthday.

The Calgary Flames are actively working the phones in search of offensive help following one of the worst starts in franchise history. The Flames came out the weekend sitting last in the NHL with a 2–7–1 record and averaging just two goals per game.

On the ensuing rush up ice, Connor Zary dipsy-doodled around Braden Schneider before sending a no-look backhand pass into the slot that was converted by Sharangovich for his first goal of the season and a 3-1 lead with 7:32 left in the middle period.

Trade rumors are picking up around one Calgary Flames star, leaving the team with a major decision to make early in the season.

Nylander left last Friday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres following a hit from Jason Zucker. He then missed Saturday’s contest entirely, marking his first absence in a regular-season game since April 2022.
