Overview
- Head coach Ryan Huska said the 34-year-old winger will be shut down for the four games before the Olympic break and will not return until after it, with Calgary’s next game scheduled for Feb. 26 in San Jose.
- Coleman has missed eight straight games with an upper-body injury, has been limited to no-contact practices, and did not participate in Wednesday’s skate.
- He has 13 goals and 21 points in 44 games this season and typically anchors a shutdown role next to captain Mikael Backlund.
- With Coleman out, the Flames have leaned on Yegor Sharangovich, Joel Farabee, and Matt Coronato for his minutes and penalty-kill duties as they sit 30th at 21-25-6.
- Under contract through 2026–27 at a $4.9 million cap hit, Coleman is viewed in reporting as a potential trade candidate before March 6, though his injury and the Olympic break could influence timing.
