Gridin logged an assist in Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

This was Gridin's first point in two games since he was recalled from AHL Calgary. The 19-year-old dominated with 28 points in 32 appearances for the Wranglers. He'll now get a second chance to stick with the big club after starting 2025-26 with the Flames and earning a goal over four outings. Gridin is likely to see middle-six usage during this stint in the NHL.

Gridin was summoned from AHL Calgary on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gridin opened the season with the Flames, potting his lone goal in his NHL debut Oct. 8 in Edmonton. He failed to find the scoresheet in three subsequent games and was sent to the AHL on Oct. 17. The 19-year-old had 10 goals and 28 points in 32 AHL games before his recall.

Gridin scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in AHL Calgary's 3-2 win over San Diego on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gridin has three goals and three assists during his five-game point streak. He started the season in the NHL and posted a goal and nine shots over four games. Since returning to the AHL, he has seven goals and 17 points over 16 appearances. The 19-year-old Russian has a good chance of seeing more NHL minutes before the end of the campaign, though the Flames have turned to call-ups Sam Morton and Dryden Hunt as well as waiver claim John Beecher to fill out the forward depth recently.

Gridin was assigned to AHL Calgary on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gridin made the Flames' Opening Night roster this year and appeared in the team's first four games, recording a goal, three blocked shots, a hit and a minus-3 rating while averaging 14:43 of ice time. However, he'll head back to the minors since Jonathan Huberdeau was activated off injured reserve Friday.

Gridin scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Gridin's first career goal wasn't a beauty -- his centering pass banked in off an Oiler. Still, it's a good sign he was in a position to get a bounce to go his way in his NHL debut. The 19-year-old forward will likely get at least a nine-game trial with the big club, and he could continue to feature in a middle-six role as the team tries to evaluate if he's ready to stick around for the long haul. He produced 36 goals and 79 points with QMJHL Shawinigan during the 2024-25 regular season and would likely return to the junior ranks if the Flames don't keep him on their roster all year.
