The Calgary Flames sent two players to the NHL all-star game this weekend in David Rittich, Mark Giordano, and Matthew Tkachuk — each of whom saw some time in the skills competition Friday night.
David Rittich saw himself in the save streak competition in which nine different skaters came down the ice shooting on respective goalies to see who could stop the most in a row. With the bar set at 10 saves by St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington, Rittich was only able to save four.
Mark Giordano took place in the NHL’s hardest shot competition firing two very respectable shots.
