Flames Leave Preseason Scoring Leader Aydar Suniev Off Opening Night Roster
Reported by Eric Francis
The Calgary Flames revealed their 2026-27 opening night roster, and preseason scoring leader Aydar Suniev was left off in favor of Brennan Othmann as the 13th forward. Othmann required waivers to be demoted, making the decision a logistical one, while Suniev is expected to be an early call-up from the AHL Wranglers. As Eric Francis pointed out, Suniev can feel good about his camp knowing he'll be an early call-up if he continues to grow his 200-foot game.
