Right now, the Flames have 23 active players on their roster:
- Two goaltenders (Hiller and Ortio)
- Seven defensemen (Russell, Giordano, Wideman, Smid, Hamilton, Engelland and Nakladal)
- 14 forwards (Colborne, Backlund, Gaudreau, Jooris, Stajan, Jones, Raymond, Monahan, Hudler, Bollig, Grant, Frolik, Ferland and Bennett)
There are officially two players on the injured reserve - T.
