It’s preseason for the NHL’s Department of Player Safety, too, but Thursday’s game between the Seattle Kraken and Calgary Flames gave them a chance to shake off some rust. During a 4-3 shootout win for the Kraken, Seattle defenseman Ville Ottavainen took a hit from Flames forward Brennan Othmann in the corner. Ottavainen proceeded to grab Othmann around the head, fling him to the ice, and deliver multiple punches while Othmann curled into a protective posture. Naturally, several other players ...
Only a week after camp opened, the Seattle Kraken are already closing in on the end of their brief preseason slate. They completed two games last weekend, winning both of the matchups against the Canucks and Flames, before defeating Calgary again 4-3 on Thursday night at Climate Pledge Arena. What have we learned about Lane Lambert’s squad in year two so far? Who has made the biggest impression? Let’s discuss three takeaways after a week of camp and three preseason contests: Upstart yo...
Ottavainen was fined $2,190.72 for his role in Thursday’s altercation with Calgary Flames forward Brennan Othmann.
After a long summer of terrible Toronto Blue Jays baseball, hockey is finally here. While the Calgary Flames don’t kick-off their 2026-27 season until early October, several of their prospects have already begun their season. Players playing in Sweden, Russia, and the Canadian Hockey League have already dipped their toes in 2026-27 action, with college…
In the aftermath of Thursday’s pre-season game in Seattle, the Calgary Flames have made major cuts to their training camp roster. Seven players have been sent outright to the American Hockey League’s Calgary Wranglers, eight have been placed on waivers for the purposes of going to the Wranglers if/when they clear, and one player has…
Pals, as we approached Calgary Flames training camp ahead of the 2026-27 season, we thought we had a pretty good handle on who would be on the team when the regular season begins on Oct. 1. On paper, the team seemed set. They had two goalies on one-way deals. They had seven defencemen on one-way…
As the sun rises on Friday, the Calgary Flames have a training camp roster of 43 players. By 3 p.m. MT on Monday, they need to have 20 players off that roster, and submit a cap compliant 23-man roster with the league for opening night. Here’s how we think they get there. The expected opening…
The Calgary Flames hit the ice for the third time in this exhibition season on Thursday night, trekking to the Emerald City to visit the Seattle Kraken. The Kraken dressed their opening night NHL roster, more or less. The Flames had far more prospective members of the Calgary Wranglers than NHLers. And yet, it was…
“We had a lot of guys that did a lot of really good things”
“Kudos to them, I had the easy job of tapping it in”

Ville Ottavainen will likely be hearing from NHL Player Safety after losing his cool big time during the Seattle Kraken‘s 4-3 shootout victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. With 12:38 remaining in the second period, Ottavainen, a Finnish defenseman, tackled Brennan Othmann by the throat after the Flames forward delivered what seemed like
The Calgary Flames have one more chance to end the pre-season in the win column. The Flames suffered a 4-3 shootout loss to the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night in their penultimate pre-season game, where they dressed a majority of their AHL squad. Calgary first broke a 1-1 tie in the second period, with goals from Rory Kerins and Aydar Suniev to build a two-goal lead for the visiting squad. Suniev, 21, now has three goals in two pre-season games as the 2023 third-rounder looks to make the big...
Final score notwithstanding, the Seattle Kraken were largely outplayed by the Calgary Flames’ AHL roster in their third preseason game on Thursday night. But a third period comeback allowed the home team to squeak out a 4-3 victory. Even in a win, the Kraken were comfortably outshot 35-26 and had two players ejected. In total, there was 69 penalty minutes assessed in the game, but hockey can be a weird sport and despite the shot discrepancy not going in their favor, they finished on a s...
