By the time the Calgary Flames were able to seriously apply pressure it was already too late as the Los Angeles Kings took them down on Thursday night.
The Calgary Flames have undergone significant roster changes since the season began in October. But all due respect to Elias Lindholm, no position has seen more significant changes than the Flames’ blueline.

The Calgary Flames continue to fight hard but end up on the wrong side of the score again in this loss to the Winnipeg Jets. This loss officially eliminated the Flames and it appeared some of the veteran players were aware as they played valiantly against a team that once sat atop the standings this season.
The Calgary Flames are all but out of the playoff race, sitting 16 points out of the final Wild Card spot with just 10 games remaining and a bunch of teams to jump.

Immediately slotted as the quarterback of the first power play, deployment in the top four next to MacKenzie Weegar, and, of course, a two-year extension ensuring a bit of job security.
It wasn’t long ago that the Calgary Flames had very few defensive prospects worth mentioning. Before selecting Étienne Morin and Axel Hurtig in the 2023 NHL Draft, the Flames had picked a total of six defenders in the previous five draft years.
I’m glad the Calgary Flames got some of their nice moments out of the way early because the majority of the night was the Colorado Avalanche treating the Flames like a punching bag.
