Calgary Flames Stats, Odds, Standings and Schedule for NHL Season 2023

Calgary Flames Last Season Performance

The 2022-23 season was a disappointing one for the Flames, as Calgary took a step backward from its division-winning season a year prior. After winning 50 games the season before, Calgary finished 2022-23 with a 38-27-17 record.

The Flames were eliminated from playoff contention for the second time in three years after they fell to Nashville in mid-April.

Calgary Flames Offseason Changes

Calgary FlamesKey Additions

The Flames have had a relatively quiet offseason in terms of additions, however they did make a trade to acquire center Yegor Sharangovich from New Jersey. Sharangovich finished last season with 13 goals and 30 points.

Calgary also added a veteran presence and defensive stability to its roster by signing defenseman Jordan Oesterle to a one-year contract. Oesterle has the ability to contribute on both ends.

Calgary Flames Key Subtractions

Calgary had more losses in the offseason than additions, starting with right wing Tyler Toffoli, who the team traded to get Sharangovich. Toffoli led the Flames last season in both points and goals, scoring 34 goals and 73 points.

Left wing Milan Lucic and center Trevor Lewis also joined their former teams in Boston and Los Angeles and took more offense with them, as the two combined for 39 points last season.

Calgary Flames Head Coaching Analysis

Ryan Huska will enter his first season as Calgary’s head coach after Darryl Sutter was fired following the conclusion of the 2022-23 season.

Huska was promoted to the head coaching position after being an assistant coach for Calgary since 2018. Prior to that, he was the head coach of the Flames’ AHL affiliate team, the Adirondack Flames and Stockton Heat, from 2014 until his hiring with the Flames in 2018.

Calgary Flames Prediction for the 2023-24 Season

The Flames have missed the postseason in two of the last three years, but with a new coach and a couple of trades, Calgary will be trying to change that.

Though there may be some adjustments with a new coach, the positive is that Huska has been an assistant with Calgary the past few years, so the transition may be smoother than others. A fresh start with a new coach may also be just what the Flames need.

Though Calgary will have to make up for its loss of offensive production somehow in Toffoli, the addition of Sharangovich should be a step in the right direction. The Flames also barely missed the playoffs last season, doing so by two points. If Calgary performs a bit better this season, it could find themselves sneaking into a Wild-Card spot and returning to the playoffs, like NHL odds predict.
