Calgary Flames focus on offensive improvements and roster depth

The Calgary Flames are prioritizing improvements to their power play and overall offensive production during their current rebuilding phase. After finishing the previous season with a league-worst 16.2% power play percentage, the team has seen an early-season improvement to 21.1% through eight games. Head coach Ryan Huska has emphasized the need for a stronger presence at the net to increase scoring opportunities.

To address scoring struggles, where the team currently averages just 2.13 goals per game, the Flames have utilized roster moves to find offensive sparks. Recent recalls include Aydar Suniev and Jonathan Castagna, with Suniev recording two goals in his first five games. The team also recalled Ben Jones from the Wranglers, who has recorded seven goals in seven games. Other potential candidates for call-ups include William Stromgren and Rory Kerins as the club seeks to bolster its lineup.
