The 2018–19 Calgary Flames season was the Flames' 39th season in Calgary, and the 47th for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 6, 1972. The Flames clinched a playoff spot on March 17, 2019, when the Minnesota Wild lost to the New York Islanders. On March 31, the team won its first division title since the 2005–06 season, and clinched the best record in what is now the Western Conference for the first time since the 1989–90 season. They also finished with 50 wins and 107 points, in both cases trailing only the 1989 Stanley Cup champions. The Flames faced the Colorado Avalanche in the first round, losing in five games.
