Ryan Lomberg

Joel Farabee channels his inner sniper with a perfect deflection off Ryan Lomberg's tape-to-tape pass, putting the Flames up early against a surging Ducks squad that's won 12 of 14. Yegor Sharangovich snaps his eight-game drought with a power-play laser, but Cutter Gauthier's weird-angle bank shot and one-timer keep Anaheim alive through a wild third period.

Ryan Lomberg pitches his case to stay in Calgary, touting his grit, speed and the spark he brings to a Saddledome that's often too quiet these days. Flames brass eyes him as their lone notable UFA amid a teardown, with trade whispers and cap flexibility tempting a move over an extension. Conroy's listening to offers on core pieces like Kadri and Coleman, and Lomberg's unique edge might not outweigh the assets a deal could fetch before the deadline hits.
