Top Andrei Kuzmenko News

  • Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Supplies helper in loss

    Kuzmenko notched an assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.

    The helper snapped a five-game point drought for Kuzmenko. The winger has been wildly inconsistent, going 18 games without a goal while picking up just five assists during that ongoing slump. The 28-year-old has moved all over the lineup but can't seem to get much going -- he's yet to record more than two shots on net in a game and has been held without a shot altogether six times after Monday's outing. He's at 10 points, 26 shots on net, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating over 22 appearances, but five of those points, including his lone goal, came over the first four games of 2024-25.

  • Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Bouncing back from fourth line

    Kuzmenko started Sunday's loss to the Oilers on the fourth line but eventually took shifts on the top line, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

    Kuzmenko, who posted seven points in the first eight games, had a strong start to the season, but he hit the skids last week and was benched for the final 27 minutes of last Friday's 3-0 loss to the Devils. In addition to opening on the fourth line Sunday, he was temporarily removed from the top power-play unit. However, Kuzmenko was one of the team's best forwards against Edmonton and was elevated to the top line alongside Nazem Kadri and Martin Pospisil midway through the second period. Calgary head coach Ryan Huska was pleased with Kuzmenko's effort Sunday and could reestablish the 28-year-old forward on the top line to start Tuesday's road game in Montreal.

  • Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Two helpers in Saturday's loss

    Kuzmenko picked up two assists in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.

    The 28-year-old winger set up game-tying goals in the second and third periods by Rasmus Andersson and Nazem Kadri. but the Flames' offense dried up after Kadri's tally. Kuzmenko has had a strong start to the season, producing a goal and seven points in eight games as he looks to regain the form that saw him break out for 74 points (39 goals, 35 assists) as a rookie with the Canucks in 2022-23.

  • Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Nets power-play tally

    Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Kuzmenko found his first goal of the year, and that second-period tally ended up being the game-winner. The talented winger has five points, six shots on net and a plus-1 rating across four appearances. He's been on the Flames' listed top line with Samuel Honzek and Nazem Kadri, but that trio has not been as productive as other forward groups. Kuzmenko has done the bulk of his work on the power play, where he's earned three of his five points.

  • Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Distributes three helpers in win

    Kuzmenko provided three assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

    Two of Kuzmenko's three assists came on the power play. The crafty winger has yet to score a goal through two games, but he's supplied four assists with three shots on net and a plus-2 rating.

  • Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Manages helper in win

    Kuzmenko produced an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canucks.

    Kuzmenko helped out on a Rasmus Andersson tally in the second period. The 28-year-old Kuzmenko saw just 15:22 of ice time, which isn't encouraging considering the Flames were trailing for much of the contest. He began the game as the listed first-line right wing, though the forwards got shuffled after Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) left the contest. Kuzmenko put up 22 goals and 25 helpers over 72 contests between the Canucks and the Flames last year, but he can be a bit streaky on offense, which will lead to frustration for fantasy managers since the winger rarely adds much in the way of physical play.
