Devin Cooley returns from IR as Flames host high-powered Ducks
Nov 6, 2026 8:17 PM

The Calgary Flames return home tonight looking to get back into the win column as they welcome the Anaheim Ducks to the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Calgary (7-8-1) is coming off a three-game road trip in which they went 1-1-1, wrapping things up with a 2-1 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken. It was the Flames' first trip to extra time this season, but they'll be looking to put that result behind them and get back to their winning ways in front of the home crowd.

The Flames will have a little something different on display tonight, sporting their Hometown Remix jerseys for the first time this season. They'll also be looking to keep their recent success at the Saddledome going, having won five straight games in front of their home fans.

There is some positive news on the injury front for Calgary, as goaltender Devin Cooley has been activated from injured reserve and is back in the lineup. Cooley has been sidelined since Oct. 28 with a lower-body injury. Dustin Wolf is expected to get the start between the pipes, having gone 2-0-1 in his three starts since Cooley's injury. With Cooley returning, goaltender Arsenii Sergeev was reassigned to the Calgary Wranglers on Thursday.

The Ducks (8-7-1) are coming off a 5-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night and have been getting significant production from their young offensive core. Leo Carlsson has been a major part of that success, leading the way with five goals and 24 points on the season.

Anaheim has shown it can put goals on the board, meaning the Flames will need a strong defensive effort and another solid performance from Wolf.
