Latest news
Kuznetsov notched an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Kuznetsov has mostly played in a bottom-four role this season, though he was a healthy scratch for the second game of the year. The defenseman has two assists, 12 shots on net, 12 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 10 appearances. He's primarily a shutdown defender, so there's little chance he'll score his way onto the scene in fantasy.

Kuznetsov (upper body) is healthy and will be present at training camp later this week, Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM reports Monday.
Kuznetsov missed the final three games of 2025-26 and 11 of the final 16 due to an upper-body injury. General manager Craig Conroy said Monday that every player with the exception of Jonathan Huberdeau (hip) is healthy ahead of this season, so the Flames' blue line is currently at full strength. Kuznetsov might have the inside track at starting on the left side of the team's third pairing, but he will have Joel Hanley to compete with for minutes in 2026-27.

Kuznetsov (upper body) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 regular season, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan on Tuesday.
After sitting out Sunday's 4-1 win over Utah because of the injury, Kuznetsov won't play against the Avalanche and Kings on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. He will conclude the 2025-26 campaign with four goals, 12 points, 64 shots on net, 103 blocked shots and 79 hits across 57 appearances.

Kuznetsov will be sidelined against the Mammoth on Sunday due to an upper-body injury and is day-to-day.
Kuznetsov didn't play in the final 10 minutes of Saturday's game in Seattle due to his injury, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan. If Kevin Bahl (lower body) doesn't suit up Sunday, Brayden Pachal will most likely draw into the lineup in a bottom-four capacity. The Flames have two more games remaining in their season following Sunday's matchup against Utah.

Kuznetsov (upper body) will be a healthy scratch for Monday's game in Colorado, per Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Kuznetsov hasn't been in the lineup since March 14 versus the Islanders. Joel Hanley (upper body) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 campaign, so Kuznetsov is currently the Flames' seventh blueliner, but it remains to be seen when he'll get back into the lineup. Calgary's next game is Thursday in Vegas.
RotoWire via ESPN · Mar 31
Kuznetsov (upper body) isn't expected to play against Colorado on Monday.
Despite participating in Monday's morning skate, Kuznetsov will miss his eighth straight game. He has picked up four goals, 12 points, 58 shots on net, 89 blocked shots and 75 hits across 52 appearances this season.
