Nylander Eyes Fresh Start with Flames | Calgary Flames News

Alex Nylander, Calgary’s hometown hero and former 8th overall pick, is heading to Flames training camp on a PTO after a stellar Calder Cup run with Toronto Marlies. With 24 goals and 53 points in 65 games last season, he’s got the scoring touch — and a fresh start could be his ticket back to NHL stardom. After bouncing around teams like Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Columbus without consistent ice time, Nylander’s AHL dominance and that clutch OT winner make him a dark horse for preseason roster spots. With new league rules limiting veteran dressings in exhibition games, the Flames’ September 20 opener against Seattle might just be where Nylander proves he belongs — and maybe even earns a real contract.
