Brennan Othmann joins Calgary Flames roster for 2026-27 season
Summary

Brennan Othmann earned a spot on the Calgary Flames' opening-night roster for the 2026-27 NHL season after being traded by the New York Rangers last March. Othmann, a former first-round pick, expressed his excitement about the opportunity to play in the NHL, noting he had narrowly missed making the Rangers roster in past seasons. His performance in training camp highlighted a more physical playing style, which Flames coach Ryan Huska praised. Although Othmann may be a healthy scratch on opening night against the Seattle Kraken, the Flames have a busy schedule that could offer him playing time early in the season.
