## Resource

The Calgary Flames are poised for a playoff push this season, but they’ll need to overcome their glaring offensive woes—scoring just 2.54 goals per game last year. With key players like Jonathan Huberdeau recovering from surgery and Yegor Sharangovich needing to ramp up production, the team’s success hinges on Dustin Wolf’s elite goaltending and the breakout of young stars like Matt Coronato and Connor Zary. A major upgrade comes in the form of defenseman Simon Nemec, signed to a five-year deal and expected to play a bigger role offensively. Also watch Matvei Gridin, a first-round pick who lit up the minors with 20 points, and Zayne Parekh, whose two-way potential could earn him a full-time spot. If these pieces click, the Flames might just turn their season around—and make the playoffs. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
