Beyond playing a vital role on a Flames penalty killing unit that ranks third in the American Hockey League, Maki has scored five times in seven post-overtime shootout opportunities.
That ties a host of others for second-most shootout goals in the league this season, and, among players with more than three opportunities, only 14 players in the AHL have a higher rate of shootout success than Maki’s batting average of .714.
Well, if the Flames were thinking of keeping a roster spot open for a shootout specialist it is nice to know we might have one on the farm.
