Flames Week Ahead: Schedule & Storylines – Olofsson’s First, Zary Hit, Homestand Momentum and More

Here is a rundown of the key stories surrounding the Calgary Flames and their upcoming schedule for the week of March 22-29, 2026.

Victor Olofsson’s Arrival and First Goal

Olofsson, recently acquired from the Colorado Avalanche in the Nazem Kadri trade, is finally settling in. He scored his first goal in Flames silks during Friday’s 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers. Fans and analysts are closely watching to see how his offensive production continues to impact the top six.

Connor Zary’s Health and A.J. Greer’s Hit

During the same Friday night game, Flames forward Connor Zary was shoved headfirst into the boards by former Flame (and current Panther) A.J. Greer.

Greer was ejected with a major penalty and a game misconduct, and Flames fans are anxiously awaiting updates on Zary’s condition and whether Greer will face further suspension from NHL Player Safety.

The Flames just unveiled a brand-new commemorative logo for the upcoming 2026-27 campaign. The new branding will celebrate the team’s final farewell season inside the iconic Scotiabank Saddledome before they eventually move to their new arena, Scotia Place.

Riding the Homestand Momentum

The Flames are currently enjoying a comfortable six-game homestand and have won two games in a row (beating both the St. Louis Blues and Florida Panthers). Goaltender Dustin Wolf just picked up his 20th win of the campaign, and the team is looking to use this home-ice advantage to rack up points as the regular season winds down.

Flames Upcoming Schedule

The Flames are right in the thick of a heavily Pacific Division-focused homestand. They will play four games over the next seven days, all within the friendly confines of the Scotiabank Saddledome.
