The Calgary Flames are fighting to stay in the Stanley Cup playoff race, earning points in their last three games. While a win against struggling San Jose (3-2) was expected, their impressive 3-1 victory over Washington stood out, making them the first team in 2025 to take two points from the Capitals at home.
Head coach Ryan Huska’s squad will be looking to build on this momentum as they push toward their postseason goals, but consistency will be key moving forward.

John Cooper’s squad is staying strong even after the February break, extending their winning streak to six games. Instead of overpowering opponents, they’ve taken a more controlled approach, securing solid wins like 4-1 victories over both Seattle and Edmonton.
Now sitting fourth in the East, Tampa Bay is in great form and has the potential to climb even higher, possibly contending for the second seed and home-ice advantage in the playoffs.
