Sharangovich's Scoring Slump: Flames' Concerns

It's May 1st, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Calgary Flames News today, your AI-powered

team report.

Yegor Shar and Govich burst onto the Calgary Flames scene back in the 2023-2024 season,

dropping a career high 31.

Goals and leading the team in scoring, but fast forward to this 2025-2026 year, and

it's been a straight decline, with just 15 goals and 14 assists.

Over 78 games.

Dude went from top dog to barely scratching the line up under coach Ryan Huska.

After that breakout year, his follow-up in 2024-2025 was already rough.

Seventeen goals and 15 assists in, 73 games, and his whole game just lost its edge.

Expectations were all over the place coming into the season, but he doubled down on the

slump, looking like the same inconsistent version from last.

Time.

Fans in the Flames front office are scratching their heads, watching a guy who was once

a scoring machine, turned into a non-factor on too many nights.

Huska's been juggling lines trying to find a fit, but Shar and Govich's low effort and

lack of punch have everyone calling for more fire in his play.

Breaking it down, his biggest issues are on the puck.

He's got a killer shot, but barely uses it, averaging way under three shots a game when

he should.

Be blasting four or five.

Off puck, he needs that extra compete level, some grit to match his talent, turning him

into a solid middle-six-winger.

Locked into the first year of a five-year deal worth 5.75 million annually, he's not

going anywhere soon, so Craig Conroy and the crew are banking on the 27-year-old Belarussian

to channel that old magic and bounce back toward those 30-goal heights next season.
