For the first time since July, the Scotiabank Saddledome played host to organized hockey on Thursday night. Sure, it was a scrimmage between the two halves of the Calgary Flames training camp crew, but it was something.
Team McDonald defeated Team Iginla by a 5-2 score.
The rundown
Team McDonald’s Joakim Nordstrom, playing on the de facto fifth line, opened the scoring. Off a broken play in the neutral zone, he walked in on Jacob Markstrom. Alex Petrovic attempted a sliding block, but Nordstrom waited him out and beat Markstrom short-side to make it 1-0 McDonald.
