Martin Pospisil - Learning moment in loss Pospisil was whistled for an offensive zone penalty that led to the go-ahead goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Edmonton, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Herald reports. "It can't happen,...
Impact Pospisil plays with an edge -- that's part of his game -- so coaches have to accept his style, but his third-period high-sticking penalty in the offensive zone was costly and was noticed by head coach Ryan Huska. "It's so hard to win in this league that if you overstep the boundary a little bit, then it can cost a team," Huska said. "I think he understands it. He's gotta really work to be a better player in that regard for us." Pospisil, who opened the season with six points through his first eight appearances, enters Tuesday's contest in Montreal on a four-game pointless run.

Anthony Mantha - Needs to shoot more Calgary head coach Ryan Huska wants Mantha to shoot more, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports. "You saw tonight, there was multiple times he was standing right in front of th...
Impact Mantha registered a power-play goal and fired four shots on net, leaving the coach and the player in agreement that he needs to shoot more. Those four shots Sunday was nearly a third of his season total of 14 SOG through 12 outings. The winger rides a three-game point into Tuesday's road meeting with the Canadiens.

Andrei Kuzmenko - Bouncing back from fourth line Kuzmenko started Sunday's loss to the Oilers on the fourth line but eventually took shifts on the top line, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
Impact Kuzmenko, who posted seven points in the first eight games, had a strong start to the season but hit the skids last week and was benched for the final 27 minutes of last Friday's 3-0 loss to the Devils. In addition to opening on the fourth line Sunday, he was temporarily removed from the top power-play unit. However, Kuzmenko was one of the team's best forwards against Edmonton and elevated to the top line alongside Nazem Kadri and Martin Pospisil midway through the second period. Calgary head coach Ryan Huska was pleased with Kuzmenko's effort Sunday and could reestablish the 28-year-old forward on the top line to start Tuesday's road game in Montreal.

Joel Hanley - Stuck in press box Hanley has been scratched for 10 of the Flames' first 12 games after sitting out Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Hanely is one of three left-shot defensemen on the Flames' roster, but they dress five right-handed blueliners Sunday. At this point, Hanley looks to be at the bottom of the pecking order for playing time -- at 33 years old, he's a veteran who can check in when necessary. The team will likely prioritize getting looks at Brayden Pachal and Daniil Miromanov over the course of the season, so barring injuries, Hanley won't play often.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Bahl - Assists in consecutive games Bahl notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Bahl has earned a helper in each of the last two contests, the first time this year he's gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive games. He's off to a decent start to his Flames tenure, earning five assists over 12 contests. The 24-year-old shutdown defenseman has added 16 shots on net, a plus-5 rating, 17 hits and 21 blocked shots in a top-four role.

Tyson Barrie - Pockets power-play helper Barrie notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Barrie had a shot attempt tipped in by Anthony Mantha in the second period. This was Barrie's third straight game in the lineup -- he appears to have at least temporarily surpassed Jake Bean on the depth chart. The helper was Barrie's first point to go with seven shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-1 rating over five appearances. He'll likely see power-play time when he plays, but with a third-pairing role at even strength, the 33-year-old has limited upside across all categories.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Mikael Backlund - Gathers helper in loss Backlund had a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Backlund ended a three-game slump with the secondary helper on Anthony Mantha's second-period tally. The 35-year-old Backlund has earned six points, including two on the power play, over 12 contests in a top-six role this season. He's added 24 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating. He's averaging just two shots per game this season after being above 2.5 shots per game in each of the previous four campaigns, so the Swede's offense could be at risk of dropping.

Anthony Mantha - Scores power-play goal Sunday Mantha scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Mantha got the Flames on the board when he tipped home a Tyson Barrie shot at 4:33 of the second period. This was Mantha's third straight game with a point (two goals, one assist), and it was also his first power-play point of the campaign. The winger is up to four goals, three helpers, 14 shots on net, 16 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 12 contests. He'll likely continue to play in a middle-six role at even strength while also seeing power-play time.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Yegor Sharangovich - Tallies in Sunday's loss Sharangovich scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Sharangovich picked up his first point in five games this season when he tied the game at 2-2 in the third period. The 26-year-old missed seven contests with a lower-body injury sustained in the preseason. He's collected eight shots on net, three hits and a minus-3 rating while playing in a middle-six role so far, though he could eventually be shuffled up to the top line if he can his offense going.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Dan Vladar - Yields three goals in loss Vladar allowed three goals on 30 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Impact Vladar received consecutive starts for the first time this season, but he wasn't able to pick up his fourth win of the year. The 27-year-old kept the game close, but Zach Hyman's backhander on the power play midway through the third period was decisive. He's now 3-3-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .907 save percentage through seven outings. This is about as good as it's ever been for Vladar at the NHL level, though he's likely to continue sharing the crease with Dustin Wolf throughout the campaign. The Flames behind a three-game road trip when they visit the Canadiens on Tuesday.
