Coleman scored a goal on a game-high eight shots, dished an assist, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers cut the Flames' lead to 2-1 early in the third period, but Coleman quickly replied and then set up Mikael Backlund for an insurance tally. The 29-year-old Coleman entered Monday with just one goal on nine shots across three games. He's up to three points, 17 shots, 10 hits and a plus-4 rating in four outings, and he appears set for a top-six role after leading all Flames forwards with 17:32 of ice time Monday.

Coleman scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
It took Coleman all of 7:43 into his Flames debut to get his first goal on a partial breakaway. The 29-year-old inked a six-year contract with the Flames in July, and he's set to see a middle-six role. He had 31 points and 109 hits in 55 games with the Lightning, but the quality of the team around him in Calgary could slightly decrease his scoring pace in 2021-22.

Coleman has served his two-game ban and is available versus Anaheim on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman -- who was suspended for one preseason and one regular-season matchup -- will bolster a forward group that was limited to just 11 skaters in the season opener against Edmonton. Coleman should be in the mix for a top-six role but his hold on that spot should be considered tenuous at best.

Coleman was suspended Thursday for one preseason game and one regular-season game for boarding Jansen Harkins.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman will miss Friday's preseason finale and Calgary's first game Oct. 16. The 29-year-old winger will be eligible to return against Anaheim on Oct. 18. He'll slide right back into the top six once he returns.

Coleman will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Thursday for boarding on Winnipeg's Jansen Harkins.
EDGE Analysis
At this point, Coleman should probably be expected to miss the preseason finale against Winnipeg on Friday, though fantasy players will have to wait and see if a potential suspension would carry over into the regular season. After back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in Tampa Bay, Coleman cashed in during the summer, signing a six-year, $29.4 million deal with Calgary. With his new club, the 29-year-old Texan should slot into a top-six role and should challenge for a spot with at least the No. 2 power-play unit.

Coleman signed a six-year, $29.4 million contract with the Flames on Wednesday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman has been a rock-solid middle-six option for the Devils and the Lightning over the past three seasons, totaling 57 goals, 42 helpers, 535 shots on net and a whopping 525 hits while averaging 16:29 of ice time per contest through 199 appearances. The 29-year-old forward won't see much power-play time with Calgary, but he'll likely skate on the Flames' second line, and he's capable of threatening the 20-goal and 45-point marks over the course of a full season while dishing out plenty of hits.

Coleman scored an empty-net goal and added three hits in Friday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman took a hard fall into the boards during the first period, but he was able to return to the game. The physical Texan logged 17:21 of ice time as the Lightning's third line saw the most usage Friday. Coleman now has goals in back-to-back contests and three through 21 playoff contests overall. He's added seven helpers, 36 shots on net, 74 hits and a plus-5 rating.

Coleman scored a goal on three shots and added three hits Wednesday in a 3-1 win over Montreal in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman scored a brilliant goal to break a 1-1 tie late in the second period, diving to bat Barclay Goodrow's cross-crease feed past Carey Price with just three-tenths of a second on the clock. It was Coleman's first tally since the postseason opener, snapping a brutal 19-game goal drought. He's still managed to chip in offensively in his bottom-six role, hitting the scoresheet in five of his last eight games.

Coleman added an assist and a team-high 11 hits in Monday's 5-1 win over the Canadiens in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old had a very active game Monday night, assisting on Yanni Gourde's game-winning goal in the second period along with providing 11 hits in 14:05 of ice time. Coleman has now registered 68 hits and eight points in 19 games played this postseason.

Coleman registered an assist, two PIM and five hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman found Barclay Goodrow, who struck for the go-ahead goal in the third period from a sharp angle. Through seven playoff outings, Coleman has a goal and three assists. He's added 26 hits, 12 shots on net and 10 PIM as a physical presence on the third line with the ability to chip in some scoring depth.
