Flames Prospect Matvei Gridin Shines at AHL All-Star Challenge

Calgary Flames rookie Matvei Gridin, 19, participated in the 2026 AHL All-Star Challenge during the Olympic break, a reward for his strong first half with the Calgary Wranglers where he recorded 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 34 games, including two assists at the event. He also registered six points (3 goals, 3 assists) in 13 NHL games with the Flames, highlighted by his first career multi-point NHL performance against the Edmonton Oilers. Reassigned to the Wranglers for continued development, Gridin aims to carry this momentum into the season's second half.
