Calgary Flames forwards receive low ratings in NHL 27

Summary

EA Sports revealed player ratings for NHL 27 ahead of its September 11 release, highlighting the Calgary Flames' challenges. Only three Flames forwards made the top 299 list: Matt Coronato (No. 206, 85 rating), Morgan Frost (No. 212, 85 rating), and Mikael Backlund (No. 298, 84 rating). This reflects the team's rebuilding status following trades and injuries impacting performance last season. The Flames hope to see better ratings from their defensemen and goalie Dustin Wolf, who previously held an 87 rating but struggled last year.
