Chris Stewart's unique ritual:

Asking around the locker-room, it seems most of the Calgary Flames were unaware of the so-called ‘Stewie Sprint.’
Uh oh.
Flames waiver-claim Chris Stewart arrives with one of the NHL’s most unique rituals — a high-speed scamper, on blades, back to his locker stall after he finishes his prep during the pre-game warm-up.
“From the ice to my seat in the dressing room, I just come running in,” Stewart explained after Tuesday’s morning skate at American Airlines Center, where he debuted in the Flaming C logo in a road date with the Dallas Stars. “That’s just what I’ve been doing throughout my career, and it kind of got famous when I went to Minnesota.
“It’s nothing too crazy. But with a new team, it’s going to be tough because you have guys who leave warm-ups at different time and I might catch a couple by surprise.
