Hunter Brzustewicz D | CGY
Flames' Hunter Brzustewicz: Collects pair of helpers
Brzustewicz registered two assists, including one on the power play, and added two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Brzustewicz has three assists over the last four contests. He's played in seven straight games and should have a clear path to stay into the lineup since Joel Hanley (upper body) is set to miss the rest of the season and Yan Kuznetsov (upper body) is still battling his injury. Brzustewicz has collected five points, 26 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 14 hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over 26 appearances as a rookie this season.

Adam Klapka RW | CGY
Flames' Adam Klapka: Nets late power-play goal
Klapka scored a power-play goal on three shots and added five PIM in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Klapka's goal came at 19:52 of the third period to give the Flames some extra insurance. The 25-year-old doesn't regularly get power-play time, so this is unlikely to lead to a significant boost in offense over the remainder of the season. It was his first goal since Jan. 17 versus the Islanders. The hulking winger has six goals, 16 points, 71 shots on net, 267 hits, 106 PIM, 46 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 71 appearances this season.

Joel Farabee LW | CGY
Flames' Joel Farabee: Tickles twine in win
Farabee scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Farabee has earned three points and six shots on net over his last five games. The 26-year-old winger is seeing top-six usage, though that hasn't come with power-play time recently, which limits his scoring potential. Farabee is up to 17 goals, 33 points, 123 shots on net, 48 hits, 46 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 73 appearances this season.

Olli Maatta D | MIN
Flames' Olli Maatta: Earns pair of points in win
Maatta scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Maatta has two goals and five points over his last three contests. The 31-year-old defenseman continues to thrive with the Flames, who have given him a top-four role where his veteran experience can shelter the team's prospects. Maatta has 10 points over 12 outings with the Flames, giving him 11 points, 27 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 34 appearances between Calgary and Utah on the year.

Ryan Strome C | CGY
Flames' Ryan Strome: One of each Saturday
Strome scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Strome tallied at 1:32 of the second period and then set up Olli Maatta's goal a few minutes later. The 32-year-old Strome has made the most of his new opportunity in Calgary, seeing steady middle-six minutes since he was traded from the Ducks. He's earned nine points over 12 outings as a Flame, matching his total for the year over 33 appearances for the Ducks. Strome also has 51 shots on net, 19 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-7 rating across 45 contests overall.

Zayne Parekh D | CGY
Flames' Zayne Parekh: Earns first career multi-point game
Parekh scored a power-play goal on two shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
The first-period helper was his first even-strength point of the campaign. He then secured his first career multi-point outing with a goal late in the second period. Parekh is at six points, 31 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 28 appearances. The 20-year-old defenseman is seeing sheltered minutes this season, but he looks to be growing in confidence on offense with four points over the last five games.

Morgan Frost C | CGY
Flames' Morgan Frost: Pops off with three points
Frost scored a goal, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
This was Frost's first multi-point effort since March 7 versus the Hurricanes. He has four goals and two assists over his last seven outings. The 26-year-old center also won 16 of 21 draws Saturday. He has been good at the dot all year, winning a career-best 57.0 percent of his faceoffs. Frost is up to 18 goals, 20 helpers, 121 shots on net, 47 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 73 appearances. He looks poised to get back over the 40-point mark after missing it last year.

Matthew Coronato RW | CGY
Flames' Matthew Coronato: Three-point effort in win
Coronato scored a goal, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Coronato set the tone with a goal 3:04 into the game, and he added his pair of assists, including one on the power play, in the second period. The 23-year-old winger has found some consistency lately with three goals and six assists over his last seven outings, including three power-play points. It's tough to trust most of the Flames' skaters, but Coronato looks to be a viable fantasy option late in the season. He's now at 17 goals, 22 helpers, 13 power-play points, 179 shots on net and a minus-25 rating over 72 appearances.

Dustin Wolf G | CGY
Flames' Dustin Wolf: Gets plenty of support in win
Wolf stopped 31 of 34 shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Wolf gave up a goal in each period, but the Flames' offense offered a rare burst of support to make this an easy win. With three straight wins, Wolf looks to be benefiting from alternating starts with Devin Cooley again. Wolf is up to 22-25-3 with a 2.95 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 52 outings. If the Flames keep up the goalie rotation, Cooley would get a tough matchup Monday in Colorado, while Wolf's next start would be another difficult one Thursday in Vegas.

Joel Edmundson D | LA
Kings' Joel Edmundson: Garners assist Saturday
Edmundson notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.
Edmundson has picked up two assists, a plus-7 rating, 21 blocked shots and 18 hits over 14 appearances in March. The 32-year-old blueliner continues to handle top-four minutes in a shutdown role. He's earned 19 points, 87 shots on net, 87 hits, 96 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 73 appearances. If he can get one more point, he'll reach 20 for the second year in a row and the third time in his 11-year career.
