## Resource

The Calgary Flames’ penalty kill was their unexpected bright spot last season, soaring to top-12 in the league with an 80% success rate after early struggles — but now, with key contributors like Blake Coleman and Olli Maatta gone, the unit faces a major rebuild. New faces like Zach Whitecloud, Kevin Bahl, Yan Kuznetsov, and Jacob Middleton are expected to anchor the kill, while forwards behind Mikael Backlund remain uncertain. With scoring likely to be tough, a reliable penalty kill could be the difference-maker — and the team’s hope is that this unit, despite the changes, can keep delivering in clutch moments.
