Martin Pospisil plays on the edge — he has to. But just 56 games into his NHL career, he's still got plenty to figure out in terms of respecting the safety of his peers.

Earlier Saturday, Nazem Kadri spoke of the importance of playing with pride, even when the playoffs are out of reach. Then, he went out and showed what that looked like.

The knock on Andrei Kuzmenko revolved around engagement. That wasn't an issue Thursday night, when the 28-year-old winger showed the Flames just how effective he can be when he's fully involved.

It was the kind of goaltending duo you may just see for years to come. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen versus Dustin Wolf. The question is when will the rematches between these two young hotshots start to matter? Eric Francis has that and more in his takeaways.

The Flames’ 30th-ranked power play is one of the biggest reasons the team is now all but officially playing out the string. It remained a problem in a loss to the Canucks on Saturday.

Several days after the stirring ovation that welcomed him back to the Saddledome, Lanny McDonald is still grappling with the emotion of it all, writes Eric Francis.

What Flames netminder Dustin Wolf experienced Monday made it all but official he is an NHL goaltender: He was scored on by Alex Ovechkin. Twice.
