Huberdeau flexes offensive muscle in Flames 4-0 pre-season win over Canucks – Terrace Standard

The game-winning goal in his first game made for a solid first impression for Jonathan Huberdeau in his Calgary Flames debut.

Cody Eakin, Blake Coleman and journeyman forward Brett Sutter, Darryl Sutter’s son, also scored for Calgary. The Flames iced a far more experienced lineup than the Canucks, who kept all of their top players back home for the other half of two split-squad games. The Flames also prevailed in Vancouver, winning 3-2 in overtime.

The two high-profile departures means a new No. 1 line for Calgary and as they’ve been practising since training camp began, the new top trio made its debut with Elias Lindholm between Huberdeau and Tyler Toffoli. Huberdeau got the puck at the top of the crease and after his attempt to set up Toffoli at the side of the net didn’t get through, the puck bounced right back to him and he slid it past Collin Delia as the Saddledome crowd erupted.

Milano flashed his offensive skill set in one rush dipsy-doodled past John Stevens, then sent a dangerous backhander on net that Delia had to block. Milano drew a penalty in the process.
