Pachal will draw back into Calgary's lineup in Ottawa on Thursday.

Zayne Parekh (undisclosed) will not play on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators, allowing Pachal to re-enter the lineup. The 26-year-old Pachal played a career-high 76 games with the Flames last season, but has been used sparingly in 2025-26, playing in only four of the team's 11 contests.

Klapka will draw back into Calgary's lineup on Thursday in Ottawa.

Connor Zary will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators, allowing Klapka to re-enter the lineup. The 25-year-old Klapka, a bruting 6-8, 235lb forward, has 34 hits, 25 penalty minutes, and three points (1G / 2A) in 10 games this season.

Adam Klapka will draw back into Calgary's lineup on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators, sending Zary to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. Zary had an impressive 2024-25 season, scoring 27 points (13G / 14A) in 54 games, but has not been able to discover his scoring touch early in 2025-26, limited to only two points (1G / 1A) in 11 games.

Parekh (undisclosed) is expected to be out vs. Ottawa and is considered day-to-day.

Flames' head coach Ryan Huska indicated that Parekh is a little "banged up" and will not play on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators. The 19-year-old first-year defenseman is averaging 15:53 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in nine games this season.

Cooley will start in Ottawa on Thursday.

The Flames have heavily entrusted their crease to Dustin Wolf this season, starting 10 of 11 games, but he will get a rare night off on Thursday when the team turns to Cooley for only the second time. The 28-year-old Cooley was excellent in his only start of the season, saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%), but, as has been the case most of the season, the Flames did not receive ample goal support and fell 3-1 to the Utah Mammoth. The Flames enter Thursday's contest as +145 road underdogs against a Senators team scoring 3.7 goals per game.

Wolf will start in Toronto on Tuesday.

Wolf has been a workhorse for the Flames early in the 2025-26 season, as the team is desperately relying on him in hopes of working their way out of the Western Conference basement after a dreadful 2-7-1 start. The 24-year-old Wolf has started nine of 10 games for the Flames, including both ends of multiple back-to-backs, but has failed to recapture his magic from a season ago when he was the runner-up for the Calder trophy. Wolf has a 3.37 GAA and .886 SV% in nine games this season (2-6-1). The Flames enter Tuesday's contest as +157 road underdogs against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).

Klapka is expected to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday in Toronto.

For this first time this season, Klapka will head to the sidelines and serve as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Czech forward has three points (1G / 2A) and is averaging 10:24 time-on-ice through 10 games this season. Matt Coronato will draw into the lineup as Klapka's replacement.

Adam Klapka will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, allowing Coronato to re-enter the lineup. After a breakout 2024-25 season, scoring 47 points (24G / 23A) in 77 games, Coronato has struggled to find that same scoring prowess in 2025-26, limited to only three points (2G / 1A) through nine games.

He was absent from practice on Thursday for maintenance but will not miss any time, remaining in the lineup for Friday's game against the Winnipeg Jets. The 35-year-old Kadri has four points (0G / 4A) in eight games this season.
