AHL

For Flames fans, the American Hockey League is the easiest way to keep tabs with some fans, as the Calgary Wranglers play at the Saddledome as well, and after two games, they've put together a 2-0 record with back-to-back wins over the Abbotsford Canucks. There are just a few notable Flames prospects down in the AHL this season, and whils some have stood out, others, on the verge of a full-time NHL push haven't quite produced as well through two games.

The two biggest standouts in that time have been Axel Hurtig (2G, 0A, 2P, +2) and Jonathan Castagna (2G, 0A, 2P, +3), both of whom have both the skill and the physical tools to be difference makers at the next level. Beyond that, both Hunter Brzustewicz and Aydar Suniev have a point each in the early goings of the season, and with another big series coming up this weekend, there's more opportunity to get settled.

In net, both Kirill Zarubin and Arsenii Sergeev played one game each and both did well, each allowing just two goals as the Wranglers won both matchups 4-2, with the Flames future in net looking very bright indeed.
