The Calgary Flames are building momentum for a playoff push, fueled by their New Year’s Eve record of 14-4-2 since the 2000-01 season. With goaltender Devin Cooley signing a contract extension, and Dustin Wolf remaining one of the best goalies in the NHL, can this duo be the key to clinching a wild card spot in the jam-packed Western Conference race?

We hear from Cooley about his new extension and his unlikely rise, plus review the Flames’ exceptional home record in December, while analyzing Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman’s veteran leadership and scoring surge. The breakdown includes Calgary’s tactical matchups with the Philadelphia Flyers, high-danger scoring chances and a look at prospects Zayne Parekh and Cole Reschny excelling at the 2026 IIHF World Championship.
