Berube and four other players were traded from Toronto to Calgary in early 1992 for five players, including Gilmour.

What a difference a year can make. After a season in which the Calgary Flames shocked the world and nearly made the playoffs, they’ve kicked off the 2025-26 season in just about the worst way possible.

On the back of two goals each by Max Domi and Matthew Knies, the Leafs beat the Calgary Flames 4-3 at Scotiabank Arena. The Flames arrived in Toronto with an NHL-low five points. The Leafs departed after the game for Columbus to play the Blue Jackets on Wednesday night with a record of 5-4-1.

Before going down with an injury, Domi was slated to begin training camp on the top line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies. However, injuries to players such as Scott Laughton derailed those plans until the seventh game of the season, when Berube moved him up against the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 21.

On the ensuing rush up ice, Connor Zary dipsy-doodled around Braden Schneider before sending a no-look backhand pass into the slot that was converted by Sharangovich for his first goal of the season and a 3-1 lead with 7:32 left in the middle period.

Blake Coleman scored twice for the Flames on Sunday, Nazem Kadri had a goal and an assist, and goalie Dustin Wolf made 30 saves. The win over the Rangers came after Calgary had been outscored 31–12 during its losing streak.

Trade rumours have been at the forefront of the news cycle for the Calgary Flames this season. Such is the case when you’re sitting last place in the NHL despite calling yourself a playoff team.
