Flames Reassign Rising Star Matt Coronato to AHL's Calgary Wranglers
Today, the Calgary Flames announced that forward Matt Coronato has been reassigned to the AHL's Calgary Wranglers. Coronato, a promising young winger and a 2021 first-round pick, started the current NHL season with the Flames and played in five games, scoring two goals and earning a solid +3 rating. Despite his impressive start, the organization has decided to let Coronato return to the AHL, where he can continue honing his skills with increased ice time and further developmental opportunities.

Coronato’s journey with the Flames has been an inspiring one for fans and coaches alike. Since joining the professional leagues, he’s split time between the AHL and NHL, consistently showing progress and potential. Last season, Coronato spent time with both teams, contributing 15 goals and 27 assists in just 45 games for the Wranglers, totaling 42 points—an outstanding performance for his first full AHL season. He also brought energy and skill to the Flames, where he logged nine points over 34 games, showing that he can adapt quickly to the faster, more competitive NHL pace.
Sending Coronato back to the Wranglers isn’t a demotion but rather a strategic move to give him the chance to grow into a more dominant player. It’s a common approach for developing players, especially for young talents like Coronato, who are still transitioning into the professional ranks. The Flames are invested in his long-term growth and are likely focusing on his development as a crucial part of their future. With more game time in the AHL, Coronato will refine his offensive playmaking skills, solidify his defensive responsibilities, and likely return to the NHL stronger and even better prepared to make an impact.
Flames fans will no doubt be following Coronato’s progress closely as he returns to the Wranglers. There’s a strong sense that he will soon make his way back to the Flames’ lineup, ready to take on an even more prominent role. For now, his reassignment represents a chance for him to build on his natural talent and prove he’s ready for a lasting spot in the NHL.
