Brennan Othmann - Scores in blowout loss Othmann scored a goal, added two hits and went minus-3 in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact None of the Flames looked all that good, but Othmann was able to get on the scoresheet again in his second game with the team. He's up to three points, 15 shots on net, 44 hits, 11 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 19 contests between the Flames and the Rangers this season. If Othmann can continue scoring in less-than-ideal circumstances on Calgary's fourth line, he should be a mainstay in the lineup for the rest of the campaign.

Ryan Strome - Pots another goal Strome scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Strome's third-period tally came far too late to flip the game -- it only cut the deficit to 8-2 at the time. Still, he's benefited from steady top-six minutes with the Flames, earning three goals and three assists over his last seven contests. Strome is up to 19 points over 46 appearances between the Flames and the Ducks this season, including 10 points in 13 outings with Calgary. He's added 53 shots on net, 19 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-8 rating.

Brock Nelson - Deals pair of helpers Nelson logged two assists in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Nelson earned his first multi-point effort since March 3 in Anaheim. The 34-year-old center still put together a decent month, earning three goals, eight assists and 38 shots on net over 15 contests. For the season, he's at 33 goals, 61 points, 173 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 73 appearances. This is the third time he's crossed the 60-point mark in a campaign, all of which have come in the last four years.

Gabriel Landeskog - Buries goal Monday Landeskog scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Landeskog was under 15 minutes of ice time for the third game in a row, but given the lopsided nature of this contest, that's not a surprise. The 33-year-old also missed time due to a lower-body injury earlier in March, so the Avalanche are unlikely to push him too much with the Presidents' Trophy all but secured. Landeskog has earned 11 goals, 32 points, 115 shots on net, 73 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-25 rating over 52 outings in a solid comeback campaign.

Sam Malinski - One of each Monday Malinski scored a goal on four shots, added an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Malinski has five points, a plus-5 rating and seven blocks over his last four contests. The 27-year-old defenseman rarely steals the spotlight, but he's been excellent this year with 34 points, 140 shots on net, 82 blocks and a plus-41 rating through 73 appearances, more than double his 15-point output from the 2024-25 regular season. If Cale Makar (upper body) misses time, Malinski could carve out a larger power-play role in the short term.

Artturi Lehkonen - Earns two points in blowout win Lehkonen scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Lehkonen has three points over three contests since he returned from an 11-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The winger was on the top line at even strength Monday and contributed both points in the third period after the Avalanche's top forwards were not part of a five-goal eruption in the opening frame. Lehkonen is now at 20 goals, 45 points, 141 shots on net and a plus-31 rating over 62 appearances, matching his point total from 69 regular-season outings a year ago.
