EA Sports NHL 26: Top Calgary Flames player ratings

This week, EA Sports released its top player ratings for each club for NHL 26, with the Calgary Flames getting ratings for 11 of the over 300 players dropped. Here are the top Flames players by position heading into the new season.

Left Defence: MacKenzie Weegar – 88 OVR

After another solid season with the Flames, MacKenzie Weegar jumped up from an 87 in last year’s title and will be the 13th-ranked left defenceman in NHL 26 at 88 overall. He’s one point shy of the Florida Panthers’ Gustav Forsling, who holds the number 10 spot at 89 overall. Weegar is the Flames’ highest-rated player heading into NHL 26.

Right Defence: Rasmus Andersson – 88 OVR

No change in overall for Rasmus Andersson, who holds an 88 overall heading into NHL 26 despite a low season from the Flames blueliner. He had another drop in point production and an abysmal plus-minus of -38 this past season. Andersson is still the 11th-ranked right defenceman in the game, tied with seven other players in the top 10.

Goalie: Dustin Wolf – 87 OVR

Coming so close to cracking the top ten goaltenders in NHL 26, Dustin Wolf earned himself an 87 overall rating as one of the top rookies from the 2024–25 season, after appearing in NHL 25 at 81 overall at the start of last season. He ranks 11th for all goalies in NHL 26, sharing a rating with Los Angeles Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper.

Centre: Nazem Kadri – 87 OVR

Another player with no change in rating is forward Nazem Kadri, who still sits at an 87 overall and is listed as the Flames’ best centre in NHL 26.

Left Wing: Jonathan Huberdeau – 86 OVR

Jonathan Huberdeau improves from an 85 to 86 overall after his best season with the Flames, even if it’s still a far cry from his 115 points three seasons ago with the Florida Panthers.

Right Wing: Matt Coronato – 84 OVR

A well-deserved boost for the young Flames winger, who jumps up five points from an 79 to an 84 after finding his footing in the NHL with a 24-goal campaign.
