Amid a slow start to the season, the Calgary Flames are shaking up their lines with hopes of getting the team back on track.
Coronato, like many skaters for the last-place Calgary squad, has struggled to produce early on in the season. Through nine games, he has just two goals and one assist.
The 22-year-old winger broke out last year in his first full season with the big club, posting 24 goals and 23 assists before inking a seven-year, $45.5-million extension in May.
Calgary has lost every game since winning its season opener against Edmonton, as the offence has been lacklustre. The Flames scored just one goal on five occasions this season – including four straight games – and rank last in the NHL with 1.67 goals per game.
With Coronato on the bench, Morgan Frost will join Jonathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri on Calgary’s top line.
