On Saturday in Red Deer, the Calgary Flames took 61 minutes to score a goal. On Tuesday evening in Calgary, it took them 36 seconds. The Flames potted a pair of first period goals and held on for a decisive 3-1 win to close out their rookie camp games.
The rundown
The scoring started early in this one, off a really nice bit of play-making in the neutral zone. Glenn Gawdin gained speed, bounced the puck off the boards (past a defender) to himself and went in alone. He beat Olivier Rodrigue with a nice wrist shot just 36 seconds in to make it 1-0 Flames.
