Dennis Gilbert - Produces helper in hometown Gilbert recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact Gilbert, a Buffalo native, used his physicality to win a puck battle before passing to Matthew Coronato, who set up Blake Coleman's third-period tally. The 26-year-old Gilbert has played in three of the Flames' four games this year, putting him ahead of Jordan Oesterle on the depth chart. Gilbert has added one shot on goal, five hits and a plus-1 rating in a limited third-pairing role.

A.J. Greer - Records helper in win Greer posted an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact The helper was Greer's first point in four games with the Flames. He's been effective in a fourth-line role, collecting five hits, five shots on goal and a plus-1 rating. Greer looked engaged while on a line with Walker Duehr and Yegor Sharangovich in Thursday's competitive contest. While he could chip in some depth offense, Greer is unlikely to do enough to satisfy fantasy managers' needs on the scoresheet.

Yegor Sharangovich - Gets on scoresheet with helper Sharangovich provided an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact Sharangovich centered the fourth line Thursday and it was that trio that was responsible for the Flames' second goal. He started the play with a pass to A.J. Greer, who set up Walker Duehr for the tally. Sharangovich's helper was his first point in four games with the Flames -- he's added six shots on net and a minus-1 rating. The 25-year-old is a versatile forward, so he could continue to shift between center and wing as needed.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Coronato - Provides first helper Coronato registered an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact Coronato had a chance to shoot from the slot after a pass from Dennis Gilbert, but he instead fed Blake Coleman on the wing for the Flames' third goal. The 20-year-old Coronato has a goal, an assist, nine shots on net and a minus-6 rating through four contests. He's bounced around the lineup quite a bit already, and he saw just 11:09 of ice time Thursday in a penalty-filled game.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dillon Dube - Adds helper Thursday Dube notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact Dube picked up the secondary helper on Adam Ruzicka's game-winning tally in the third period. After starting the season slow, Dube has three points over his last two contests. He's added six shots on net, six PIM and a minus-1 rating -- his penalty trouble is unlikely to impact his middle-six role. Dube has also seen time on the second power-play unit, and he routinely works on the penalty kill.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nazem Kadri - Collects first assist Kadri notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact Kadri set up Adam Ruzicka's game-winning tally in the third period. The helper was Kadri's first point in four outings this season, as the 33-year-old center has gotten off to a slow start. He's added seven shots on net and a minus-3 rating, but there's little chance he loses his grip on a second-line gig. Kadri worked with Adam Ruzicka and Dillon Dube on the second line Thursday, though head coach Ryan Huska has yet to settle on many steady line combinations.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rasmus Andersson - Tacks on helper Andersson posted an assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact Andersson helped out on Jonathan Huberdeau's opening tally. Through four contests, Andersson has a goal, two assists, a plus-4 rating, 11 shots on net and 10 blocked shots. The 26-year-old defenseman is thriving on the top pairing and should continue to get plenty of ice time in all situations.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Elias Lindholm - Garners assist Thursday Lindholm posted an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact Lindholm set up Jonathan Huberdeau's tally in the opening minute of the game. The 28-year-old Lindholm has hit the ground running in 2023-24, collecting a goal, four assists, 10 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through four contests. He's averaging 21:18 of ice time per game, up from 18:39 per contest last season, which may explain some of his uptick on offense.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Walker Duehr - Nets goal in win Duehr scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact Duehr's first-period marker put the Flames ahead 2-1. His line with Yegor Sharangovich and A.J. Greer was active and effective throughout the contest. Duehr won't challenge any scoring records, but he's up to two points, six hits, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-1 rating through four contests. Duehr will need to chip in on occasion to keep Dryden Hunt from taking his spot in the lineup.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Ruzicka - Tallies game-winner Ruzicka scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact The Flames got a goal from every line, with Ruzicka representing the second line on the game-winner. The 24-year-old has two goals, two assists, five shots on goal and an even plus-minus rating through four contests, with both of his helpers coming on the power play. If he can stick in a top-six role alongside Nazem Kadri, who set up his goal Thursday, Ruzicka could have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Coleman - Shutdown forward gets goal Coleman scored a goal Thursday in a 4-3 win over Buffalo.
Impact He wired home a snap shot on a four-on-two early in the third period to put the Flames up 3-2. Coleman is a complementary scorer who is consistently relentless on the puck, great on the penalty kill and fantastic as a wet towel over the opposition's best players. Any offense Coleman puts up is a bonus -- his best season came last year with 38 points in 82 games.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Vladar - First start, first win Vladar made 24 saves Thursday in a 4-3 win over Buffalo.
Impact Eric Johnson beat Vladar from the point at 6:06 of the first. Tage Thompson beat Vladar over his glove on the power play later in the first frame. And John-Jason Peterka twisted and fired a wrister over Vladar's blocker to knot the game 3-3 early in the third. Nonetheless, Vladar was able to come away with a win in his first game of the season. He will see restricted starts behind Jacob Markstrom unless the Flames decide to make a move to trade Vladar. That's been rumored for a while, and there are teams that could use a decent netminder.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Huberdeau - Four points in first four games Huberdeau scored his second goal of the season in a 4-3 win over Buffalo on Thursday.
Impact He put the Flames up 1-0 just 49 seconds into the game after converting a rebound from the left circle. Huberdeau is off to a solid start to his sophomore season in Calgary and has two goals and two assists in his first four games. So far, all of his points have come five-on-five. Huberdeau will be hard-pressed to equal his 115-point output from 2021-22, but he could return to the point-per-game level with ease.
