Edmonton Oil Kings' Max Curran Out For Season
The Edmonton Oil Kings announced that forward Max Curran has received surgery and will be out for the remainder of the season.
The news comes at a whirlwind time for the 19-year-old, whose NHL rights were just traded from the Colorado Avalanche to the Calgary Flames on Friday as a key piece of the Nazem Kadri blockbuster.
In 31 games for Edmonton, he recorded 41 points (14 goals, 27 assists) while maintaining a dominant 57.4% faceoff win rate. Prior to his time in Edmonton, Curran spent two seasons with the Tri-City Americans, where he scored 27 goals and added 79 assists for 106 points in 105 games.
Curran is committed to joining the University of Massachusetts (UMass) in NCAA Division I for the 2026–27 season.
