The Calgary Flames signed forward Yegor Sharangovich to a five-year contract extension worth $5.75 million per season, his agent announced Monday.

Calgary also inked free-agent winger Anthony Mantha to a one-year, $3.5-million deal, the team confirmed.

Sharangovich is coming off a 31-goal season for the Flames, leading the club in scoring after coming over in a trade with the New Jersey Devils last summer. Sharangovich, who also tallied 28 assists, had one year left on the two-year, $6.2-million deal he signed with the Flames as a restricted free agent upon his arrival.

Mantha will join the Flames after finishing the 2023-24 campaign with the Vegas Golden Knights. The 29-year-old potted only three goals across 18 regular-season games and three postseason contests for Vegas after coming over from the Washington Capitals at the trade deadline. He had 20 goals over 56 games for the Caps.

Mantha, a 2013 first-round pick, was once considered a long-term building block for the Detroit Red Wings. However, the team dealt him to Washington in April 2021, months after he signed a four-year contract.

Calgary also signed fourth-line forward Ryan Lomberg from the Florida Panthers for two years with a $2-million annual cap hit. He scored five goals and averaged 9:32 of ice time last season.

Defenseman Jake Bean inked a two-year deal with Calgary with a $1.75-million cap hit. He scored four goals and 13 points in 72 games with the Columbus Blue Jackets this past campaign. He wasn't issued a qualifying offer on Sunday, making him an unrestricted free agent.

The Flames missed the playoffs in 2023-24 for the second consecutive year.
