Add: Sean Walker (Top-4 D? 64 GP, 6-16-22 +8); Casey Mittelstadt (Top-6 F? 63 GP, 14-33-47 +12)

COL Developments: Won 4 of the last 5. Added smartly at the deadline. Still in the hunt for first in the Central. Start the three game “Canadian Road Trip.” Justus Annunen likely sees a start today, or against VAN off the back-to-back.

Calgary Flames (31-28-5 Sixth in Pacific, 8 Points of WC2) HC: Ryan Huska Top Performers: Nazem Kadri (22-33-55 +2); Blake Coleman (26-22-48 +23); Yegor Sharangovich (27-20-47 –13); Jonathan Huberdeau (9-31-40 –19); Andrew Mangiapane (13-23-36 +9); MacKenzie Weegar (15-21-36); Mikael Backlund (13-20-33 +5); Rasmus Andersson (7-25-32)

Trade Losses: Noah Hanifin (61 GP, 11-24-35 +13); Elias Lindholm (49 GP, 9-23-32 –8)’ Cristopher Tanev (56 GP, 1-13-14 +16); Nikita Zadorov (21 GP, 1-5-6 –6);

CGY Developments: Core and Markstrom are here. Even if playoffs are out of the question, it’s about the message the youngsters will set. Every game is an opportunity. Lost 3 of 4. Outscored 16-5 in those losses to SEA, FLA and CAR. Defeated TB 6-3. Now play new-look COL and VGK (Hanifin). Cooper and I will discuss today or Thurs the moves and more.

CGY Injuries: Connor Zary: Day-to-Day
