2024 November Recap

W 6-3 vs CBJ (Nov 2)
A multi goal night for Huberdeau and Sillinger, caps off a strong win for the Flames. Dan Vladar allows 3 goals on 28 shots, while the 46 shots of the Flames convert to 6 goals. With a +8 shot differential, Boqvist also plays his part, picking up an assist for his troubles.

OTL 4-3 vs NJD (Nov 5)
Another loss for the Flames, but they manage to take it into OT. Huberdeau picks up another 2 assists, and continues on a career high point pace. Timo Meier is the hero for New Jersey, scoring in the first minute of OT.

SOW 4-3 vs SEA (Nov 7)
Markstrom handles a 51 shot night well, only allowing the 3 goals despite huge pressure. Calgary struggles to gets shots off but it doesn't matter as they take the points in the shootout. Huberdeau moves into top 10 in the league for points.

Transaction
:
Sharangovich to IL with torn biceps. Connor Zary to NHL.

L 5-1 @ LAK (Nov 8)
The Kings are too good for Calgary as they go up 2-1 in the 1st and never look back. Jacob Pelletier scores an unnasisted goal in the 1st and is the only Flames player to record a point this game.

L 5-2 @ VAN (Nov 10)
Another two goal night for Hubderdeau as Markstrom still leaves more to be desired in net. Janis Moser struggles defensively, and the Canucks are more than happy to punish the Flames mistakes.

Transaction:

After suffering a concussion during the Canucks game, Mangiapane moves to IR. Will Cuylle to the NHL

OTW 5-4 vs BOS (Nov 12)
Poirier scores his first NHL goal in his 9 GP, as a Hanifin hat trick is capped off with the overtime winner. Markstrom, while not elite, is getting into a much better rhythm. Trey Fix-Wolansky and Rasmus Andersson both deliver some strong hits and Hubderdeau picks up 3 assists.

L 5-1 vs COL (Nov 14)
Calgary could not get things going in this, only being able to create 25 shots. Huberdeau has a more forgettable game, as he gives the puck away 4 times.

SOL 3-2 @ ANA (Nov 18)
Despite absolutely dominating with 65 shots to the Ducks' 30, a Trevor Zegras goal in the final minute takes the game into overtime. Will Cuylle gets his first NHL assist, assiting a Noah Hanifin goal.

L 5-4 @ EDM (Nov 20)
An incredible game from Stuart Skinner and the Flames 58 points are unable to be converted into goals. Mackenzie Weegar had a dominant game defensively, making hits, blocking shots and being imposing on the blue line.

W 7-5 vs DET (Nov 22)
A 2 G 1 A night from Beauvillier headlines a strong offensive performance from Calgary. Vladar struggles in goal allowing 5 goals from 30 shots, but does enough to keep the Flames in the game. Huberdeau also gets two goals as the Flames top line continues its fantastic run of form.

W 8-1 vs ANA (Nov 23)
Boqvist (1 G 3A) could do no wrong, Markstrom easily dealt with 27 shots faced and the Flames form has started picking back up. The second win in two nights, Flames fans are still unsure of their expectations from this season, as the inconsitent form and bad goaltending nights overshadow the fantastic shot creation.

L 4-2 vs NYR (Nov 25)
Jonathan Quick favced 39 shots and only allowed two goals for New York. Mika Zabanejad has a two point night. Moser and Boqvist both play fantastic defense, but once again the Flames win shot differential but fail to win the game.

W 6-0 @ FLA (Nov 28)
Vladar kept a shoutout from 26 shots. Kadri scored twice and Beauvillier picked up a goal and assist. This game is perfect for Calgary and they are suddently 3-1 in their last 4 games.

Transaction:

The Calgary flames send Lucas Condotta to Columbus for Justin Danforth (25% Salary retained) and a 2025 5th round pick. "Our scouts admired Danforths shooting and believe he could help us convert more of the shot's we are making" confirmed Castonguay to the media shortly after the trade.

SOL 5-4 vs PHI (Nov 29)
Danforth does not take long to make an impact for Calgary, scoring in his second period in red. Vladar struggles against the Flyers and another Beauviller and Huberdeau multi point night goes to waste.

Transaction:

After giving up a 3rd line player in Condotta, the Flames acquire Anthony Angello off waivers.

Team Leaders:

Goals: Huberdeau (16), Kadri (13), Beavillier (11), Hanifin (6), Coronato (5)
Assists: Beauvillier (19), Huberdeau (18), Kadri (16), Boqvist (14), Fix-Wolansky (13)
Points: Huberdeau (34), Beauvillier (30), Kadri (29), Boqvist (16), Hanifin (14)
Shots: Hubderdeau (101), Beauvillier (99), Weegar (76), Boqvist (68), Andersson (55)
Hits: Huberdeau (37), Beauvillier (36), Weegar (32), Pelletier (31), Andersson (30)

Prospects:
Frederik Dichow (AHL)
With a .920 SV% and 2.39 GAA, Dichow has taken the starting goalie spot over from Dustin Wolf. Until Vladar put a number of strong games together there was some serious discussions about bringing Dichow up to the NHL, and that still may happen before the end of his contract in the 25/26 season.

Samuel Honzek (NHL)
Honzek has become a regular in the Flames NHL lineup. Averaging just over 9 minutes a night, Honzek has two goals and an assist in his first 10 NHL games. Over the next couple of seasons Honzek has the potential to move to the upper lines for the Flames.

Konsta Helenius (LIIGA)
Helenius is looking easily ready for the NHL next year. His addition to the lineup will leave some questions in free agency, as the team have a number of playmaking options. Despite having a brief period out of the lineup from illness, Helenius has 6 G and 7 A in his 20 Liiga games.
