For several years under Ryan Huska, the Calgary Flames have been among the lowest scoring teams in the National Hockey League, with the team ranking 31st in the NHL with 2.53 goals per game in 2025/26 following 2.68 ranking them 29th a season ago. Obviously, that's effected individual production in a major way, with the Flames top scorer a year ago being Nazem Kadri with 67 and Jonathan Huberdeau with 62.
Neither played a full campaign with the Flames this season, so that meant that we would have a new point leader this campaign, with the likes of Mikael Backlund, Matt Coronato and Morgan Frost stepping up throughout the year. Currently, it's 23-year old Coronato in the lead with 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists), putting him just three points back of his career high from a year ago with one game in the season to play.
While it's a solid second full season for the former first-round pick, with hopes rising for the future, he's on pace to make a very unfortunate piece of Calgary Flames franchise history. As of right now, the lowest single season points leader (in a non-lockout campaign) is Jiri Hurdler from the 2013/14 season when he had 54 points across 75 games played.
Given that, Coronato would need to score 11 points against the Los Angeles Kings in the Flames season finale to pass Hurdler's mark, and given that that's unlikely to happen, we will have a new record holder following the season. Despite this, there have been some positive signs, with the Flames finishing with 10 players in double-digit goals while players such as Morgan Frost, Joel Farabee and Matvei Gridin have set single season highs with the organization.
Ultimately, this isn't going to get much better anytime soon for the Flames, as many feel the likes of Gridin, Zayne Parekh, Aydar Suniev and other young stars are a few years away from being at their best, so for now, Flames fans may need to get used to the offensive mediocrity.
