The Calgary Flames have suffered through their own polar vortex in January, with huge sections of the roster going ice-cold.

They’ve tumbled further away from the NHL playoff picture as a result and are now firmly set in “seller mode” for the upcoming trade deadline.

With Rasmus Andersson traded to Vegas, it will be interesting to see who else is dealt by March 7 — as well as who can grab the opportunity as roster spots open up.

Here are our latest Flames power rankings (stats are listed for the past seven games unless otherwise noted):

TOP PLAYERS

Devin Cooley, G (2.17 GAA, .924 SV% in 17 games this season)

If you had to guess at the start of the season which Calgary goalie would lead the league in save percentage, you probably wouldn’t said Cooley.

After a rough pre-season, the team was rumoured to be looking for another backup for a time. Cooley’s play has flipped the script so completely that the Flames gave him a two-year contract extension instead.

Cooley has outplayed Dustin Wolf through much of January and boasts some of the best numbers in the NHL as a result. The 28-year-old journeyman fought his way up through the ranks of the ECHL and AHL and is making the most of his opportunity.

This doesn’t mean the team is facing a long-term starting goalie controversy, but it does suggest the coaches don’t have to overload Wolf with work.

Yegor Sharangovich, RW (3g-3a-6pts)

While a lot of the Flames’ weapons have been shooting blanks recently, Sharangovich seems to be finding his form.

No player scored more than Sharangovich’s six points over the last seven games. He also fired a team-high 41 shot attempts, which is ideally what you want to see from a guy with his skill set and release.

Frequently playing on a line with Mikael Backlund in Blake Coleman’s absence seems to have helped him turn his game around.

Connor Zary, LW/C (0g-5a-5pts)

The last couple of months have been quite a turnaround for Zary, who was barely a fourth-line player through the first quarter of the year.

Not only is he scoring points again, his confidence and swagger with the puck are starting to return. An excellent stick-handler and puck distributor out of junior, none of Zary’s signature creativity was evident for the first few months of the season.

STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW

Jonathan Huberdeau, LW (1g-0A-1pt)

Huberdeau has recorded only a single goal so far in 2026, although he has looked more engaged over the last couple of contests. His linemates were recently switched to Morgan Frost and Matvei Gridin, and that seems to have given the 31-year-old a jolt.

Huberdeau’s 22 points this season are now good for the sixth-most on the team, a far cry from what could reasonably be expected of the player given his $10.5-million annual contract and pedigree.

MacKenzie Weegar, D (0g-0a-0pts)

The nightmare season continues for Weegar. He is one of just two Flames players to manage zero points over the last couple of weeks (Joel Hanley is the other).

Calgary also got outscored by four goals at even-strength with Weegar on the ice (+2, -6), giving him a goals-for ratio of just 25%. The blueliner also saw 10 pucks go past his goalies over the last seven games, a team worst.

Joel Farabee, C (0g-1a-1pt)

Farabee makes a second straight appearance for on the struggling list. He has just two points to his name this month, a disastrous run for a player who is desperately trying to re-establish himself as a top-six forward.

Farabee got off to a decent start this season, but has stalled with 20 points in 52 games. That’s a 31-point pace over a full 82-game schedule, not nearly enough for a guy who has had ample opportunity to grab a scoring role in Calgary.

HE’S PLAYING BETTER THAN IT SEEMS

Justin Kirkland, C (1g-0a-1pt)

Kirkland scored his first goal of the season recently, his only point during this stretch. But Calgary’s fourth line has been pretty tidy over the last two weeks with him as the pivot.

At even-strength, the Flames outscored the bad guys (+3, -1) with Kirkland on the ice, and boasted an expected goals ratio of about 50% (one of the best rates on the team).

Not getting outchanced and outscored is just about the ideal scenario for a fourth-line centre in the NHL. Especially during a period where the team is struggling.

PROSPECT SNAPSHOT

Cole Reschny, C (4g-21a-25pts in 22 games this season)

Since returning from the world junior championship, Reshcny has seven points in six games and now leads the University of North Dakota in scoring. The college freshman doesn’t turn 19 until April, so becoming a leading point getter at such a young age is an encouraging sign.

Expect Reschny to stay in college for at least one more year so he can continue to mature physically. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him take another step forward next year, however, and then turn pro as a 20-year-old.

Arsenii Sergeev, G (2.87 GAA, .911 SV% in 9 games with Wranglers)

Calgary’s seventh-round pick in 2021 started the year out in the ECHL with the Rapid City Rush. He managed a .922 SV% in 12 games before being recalled to the Wranglers of the AHL. The 23-year-old Russian has played nine times for the Wranglers so far, but has only won a single game despite owning the best save percentage on the farm.

It’s only a small sample for Sergeev, but he has impressed enough to stick around despite his low win total.

Etienne Morin, LD (1g-2A-3pts in 20 games with Wranglers)

Morin was one of the darkhorses to watch among Flames prospects entering the season.

The 20-year-old defender scored 72, 49, and 58 points over his last three seasons in the QMJHL and was frequently mentioned as one of the best two-way defenders in the league. Nevertheless, it’s been a slow start to his pro career. Morin was sent down to the ECHL to kick off the season and has had to work hard just to stay in the lineup for the Wranglers.

Ice time and opportunity should open up for him next season, as guys like Yan Kuznetsov and Hunter Brzustewicz stick with the big club.
