Calgary Flames defenceman Nikita Zadorov followed Oliver Kylington’s lead in Sunday’s game against the Ottawa Senators, picking up the puck in his own end and skating it up the ice by himself before firing a pin-point wrister past goaltender Anton Forsberg.
Kylington scored a similar goal in Calgary’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday, mixing in a give-and-go pass with Johnny Gaudreau before beating Jack Campbell on a breakaway.
Zadorov may not have Kylington’s wheels but he certainly possesses a heavier shot. He entered the Senators’ zone all by himself with two Ottawa defenders standing between him and the net; despite this, Zadorov managed to unleash a shot that whistled over Forsberg’s blocker to extend the Flames’ lead to 4-0.
