Welcome to training camp week! The 2022-23 Calgary Flames officially hit the ice for the first time on Thursday and play their first pre-season games on Sunday. As one of the most fascinating camps in team history opens, here are five storylines to monitor over the next three weeks.

That’s still what I’m anticipating a couple months later, but head coach Darryl Sutter has mentioned the need to find out if Huberdeau is better suited to play with Lindholm or newcomer Nazem Kadri.
