• Flames' Matthew Coronato: Inks seven-year deal

  Rotowire May 3, 2025

  Coronato (undisclosed) signed a seven-year, $45.5 million contract with the Flames on Saturday. After completing his entry-level contract, Coronato was eligible for restricted free agency this summer. This new deal is seemingly about the 22-year-old's potential rather than his previous totals. Going into the 2024-25 campaign, he had three goals and nine points across 35 career NHL appearances, but Coronato made significant strides this season, recording 24 goals, 47 points and 180 shots in 77 outings. Taken with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, Coronato has the potential to best those offensive totals in 2025-26. The question mark for now is his health -- he underwent an MRI in April that revealed an undisclosed injury that will prevent him from playing for Team USA in the 2025 IIHF World Championship. While his timetable for his return is unclear, Coronato could be ready for training camp in the fall.

• Flames' Matthew Coronato: Withdrawn from Worlds

  Rotowire Apr 28, 2025

  Coronato underwent an MRI that revealed an undisclosed injury, resulting in him being pulled from the Team USA roster Monday for the 2025 IIHF World Championship. The Flames didn't offer any specifics regarding the nature or severity of Coronato's injury, though they did call it a "preventative decision." In his first full NHL campaign, the 22-year-old winger notched 24 goals and 23 helpers in 77 regular-season games this year. Barring a long-term injury, Coronato should be capable of building on that production heading into the 2025-26 campaign.

  Rotowire Apr 8, 2025

• Flames' Matthew Coronato: Scores twice on Long Island

  Rotowire Mar 23, 2025

  Coronato netted two goals on three shots and went plus-4 Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders. In his first game at UBS Arena against his hometown team, Coronato helped his club earn a critical two points while reaching the 20-goal mark in the process. Both of his markers were set up by Jonathan Huberdeau at even strength. This was Coronato's first multi-goal performance since Jan. 30, but he's found the back of the net in three consecutive games. The right-shot winger's stock is on the rise in his first full NHL campaign, and he'll boost his value for 2025-26 fantasy drafts if he continues to produce down the stretch. He's recorded 17 helpers, 37 points, three game-winning goals, 148 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 64 appearances in 2024-25.
