On several occasions this season, the Calgary Flames’ best players haven’t been their best players. Against St. Louis on Tuesday night, they had several starring performances from their best and brightest but some strong performances from role players helped them capture a crucial point against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
Playing his first NHL game in over three years, Buddy Robinson was simply superb. He played all over the place; he started with Sam Bennett and Mikael Backlund, then played a good chunk of the rest of the game with Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan.
Flames interim head coach Geoff Ward liked Robinson’s performance.
