Calgary Flames face conundrum in net with a pair of free-agent goalies
CALGARY — Goaltending is a big-ticket puzzle for the Calgary Flames to solve this summer.
Calgary got the goaltending it needed to be successful in 2018-19. It wasn’t the reason for an early playoff exit.
But the team’s needs and wants may not align with those of Mike Smith, a 37-year-old headed for unrestricted free agency.
He and restricted free agent David Rittich essentially split duties in the Flames net, which didn’t sit well with Smith at times.
