Alex Nylander is having a very positive adjustment to Calgary, one of the teams he specifically wanted to go to

Forward Alex Nylander has experienced a smooth transition to the Calgary Flames organization after joining the team on a professional tryout and earning a two-way contract. Calgary holds personal significance for Nylander, as it is his birthplace and where his father, Michael Nylander, played from 1993 to 1999. Nylander expressed excitement about signing with one of his preferred destinations.

Assigned to the AHL's Calgary Wranglers after clearing waivers on September 26, Nylander has become a top scorer and recently compiled a five-game point streak. Coming off a Calder Cup championship season with the Toronto Marlies, the veteran forward remains an eligible option for an NHL recall by the Flames.
