Flames look to keep win streak going, visit the Kings
The matchup Saturday is the first meeting of the season between the two teams.
TOP PERFORMERS: Adrian Kempe has scored nine goals with 18 assists for the Kings. Trevor Moore has four goals and one assist over the last 10 games.
Elias Lindholm has scored eight goals with 15 assists for the Flames. Yegor Sharangovich has six goals and four assists over the past 10 games.
Rookie Connor Zary proving to be Flames' most impressive surprise
The GM didn’t see it coming, neither did the coach.
Both Craig Conroy and Ryan Huska were asked if they expected Connor Zary to make this much of an offensive impact this early, and the answer in both cases was a flat, “no.”
Yet, 23 games into his NHL career, the 22-year-old winger continues to be the club’s biggest surprise, with seven goals and ten assists to sit second only to one NHL rookie in terms of points per game.
Why Jacob Markstrom should be in the trade mix if the Calgary Flames are legitimately heading toward a rebuild
Most likely the Flames will try the retool-on-the-fly model as opposed to the burn-it-to-the-ground trek of the Chicago Blackhawks. Even so, another big-name player, who legitimately could have trade value, should be considered: goaltender Jacob Markstrom.
Merry Christmas to all you lovely CPers! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with lots of love, laughter and good food! Stay safe!
