The Calgary Flames entered training camp last week with a few openings and a few question marks. One place that the Flames have some potential for new faces on their full-time roster is on the wing, with the club’s fourth line and extra forward spots likely being up for grabs.
Let’s take a look at the contenders.
With the injury to Connor Zary, there are likely four contenders for the opening(s): Brett Ritchie, Trevor Lewis, Matthew Phillips and Jakob Pelletier.
Ritchie, 28, is a right shot winger who joined the Flames last season on a pro try-out.
