Ten incredible moments from Johnny Gaudreau's time with the Flames Over nearly a decade in Calgary, Johnny Gaudreau emerged as one of the most beloved players in Flames history.
Are the Flames about to recall Walker Duehr or Jakob Pelletier? Two of the Calgary Flames’ top call-up candidates were surprise scratches Sunday in the AHL. Could that be a hint?

Kevin Bahl - Bags apple in loss Bahl notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins.
Impact Bahl started and ended November with assists in consecutive contests, but he had just one other helper over the 11 games in between. The 24-year-old could be a fantasy force if he finds steadier offense, though that's not a particularly likely projection. He's at a modest eight helpers while adding 28 shots on net, 36 hits, 37 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 24 outings in a top-four role this season.

Martin Pospisil - Provides helper in loss Pospisil notched an assist, four hits, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins.
Impact An in-game adjustment united Pospisil with Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau, though it's unclear if that line will stick moving forward. Pospisil did fairly well for himself late in November, earning five points, 12 PIM and eight hits over the last seven games of the month. He's up to 10 points, 36 shots on net, 61 hits, 33 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 25 contests this season, playing mainly in a middle-six role.

Matt Grzelcyk - Two power-play assists in win Grzelcyk notched two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Flames.
Impact Grzelcyk had four assists over 14 outings in November, and all of them came on the power play. He saw 4:14 on the power play Saturday, but he's often been in a lesser role since the Penguins can trot out the duo of Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang. Grzelcyk's defense has been a concern, but he has 10 helpers, 31 shots on net and 39 blocked shots to partially offset an ugly minus-13 rating. His career highs are 26 in points and seven in power-play points, and he could eclipse both marks in 2024-25 if he stays healthy.

Philip Tomasino - Nets game-winner again Tomasino scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Flames.
Impact Tomasino cashed in during the second period, and after the Flames made a half-hearted comeback effort in the third, his goal stood as the game-winner. His first two goals as a Penguin have secured consecutive victories. Tomasino is making a good first impression on his second franchise, and that should help him carve out a top-six role. The forward has three points, 29 shots on net and 10 hits over 14 appearances between the Penguins and the Predators this season.
