Flames' Matthew Coronato: Goal streak at four games
Rotowire
Coronato scored a power-play goal on six shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Stars.
Coronato is in a groove now with four goals and two assists during a four-game point streak. The 23-year-old has scored in five of his last six contests, and it was a positive sign that he was able to come back after getting bloodied by a hit from Mikko Rantanen in the second period, which resulted in a five-minute major for boarding. Coronato is up to eight goals, 13 points, 68 shots on net and a minus-13 rating through 22 appearances this season, giving him a chance to take a run at the 30-goal mark by the end of the year.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Forces overtime Saturday
Rotowire
Coronato scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Jets.
Coronato set up Kevin Bahl's goal in the second period before scoring one of his own with 1:14 left in regulation time. With three points over his last three games, Coronato may be heating up again. He's had some bursts of offense this season, but nothing that's been sustainable over a longer stretch. He's at five goals, four helpers, 56 shots on net, 12 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 19 appearances. Coronato has upside, but he may not do enough to help in redraft formats this year.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Tallies on power play
Rotowire
Coronato scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators.
Coronato's slow start got him scratched Sunday against the Rangers, showing that even a $45.5 million contract extension doesn't keep a player safe in the lineup when the team is struggling. Head coach Ryan Huska has rotated a few of the team's younger players through the press box amid a 2-8-2 start to the season. Coronato will have to regain trust, as he has just three goals, one assist, 23 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 11 appearances. Once he gets his offense on track, he should see top-six minutes and ample power-play time.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Deemed healthy for camp
Rotowire
Coronato (undisclosed) is considered healthy ahead of Thursday's first on-ice activities at Calgary's training camp, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Coronato withdrew from Team USA's IIHF World Championship team as a preventative measure due to his injury. As expected, it didn't disrupt his summer, and the winger will be ready to take on a top-six role this year. Coronato signed a seven-year, $45.5 million contract in May, securing his place as a core piece of the Flames' roster moving forward.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Inks seven-year deal
Rotowire
Coronato (undisclosed) signed a seven-year, $45.5 million contract with the Flames on Saturday.
After completing his entry-level contract, Coronato was eligible for restricted free agency this summer. This new deal is seemingly about the 22-year-old's potential rather than his previous totals. Going into the 2024-25 campaign, he had three goals and nine points across 35 career NHL appearances, but Coronato made significant strides this season, recording 24 goals, 47 points and 180 shots in 77 outings. Taken with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, Coronato has the potential to best those offensive totals in 2025-26. The question mark for now is his health -- he underwent an MRI in April that revealed an undisclosed injury that will prevent him from playing for Team USA in the 2025 IIHF World Championship. While his timetable for his return is unclear, Coronato could be ready for training camp in the fall.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Nets go-ahead goal
Rotowire
Coronato scored a goal and had two shots on net in Monday's 3-2 win over San Jose.

Coronato has been a constant in the shot department for the Flames and can usually find a way to get at least one shot on net per game. His strongest value is in deeper leagues, but he could have good value in standard formats while looking to build a goal streak.

Flames' Matthew Coronato: Scores twice on Long Island
Rotowire
Coronato netted two goals on three shots and went plus-4 Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.
In his first game at UBS Arena against his hometown team, Coronato helped his club earn a critical two points while reaching the 20-goal mark in the process. Both of his markers were set up by Jonathan Huberdeau at even strength. This was Coronato's first multi-goal performance since Jan. 30, but he's found the back of the net in three consecutive games. The right-shot winger's stock is on the rise in his first full NHL campaign, and he'll boost his value for 2025-26 fantasy drafts if he continues to produce down the stretch. He's recorded 17 helpers, 37 points, three game-winning goals, 148 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 64 appearances in 2024-25.
