Matt Coronato scored a hat trick and added an assist as the Calgary Flames opened pre-season play with a 10-0 thumping of the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.
Coronato — the Flames' first-round pick in the 2021 draft — made his NHL debut in Calgary's final game of the season last year.
In Ryan Huska's first game as head coach, replacing the fired Darryl Sutter, the Flames dressed a far more veteran-laden lineup than the visitors. Huberdeau, 30, is entering the first of an eight-year, US$84 million contract extension he signed in 2022 shortly after he was acquired in a trade with Florida that sent Matthew Tkachuk to the Panthers.
At 8:43 of the first, Huberdeau made it 3-0 when he got the puck in the slot, toe-dragged around defenceman Noah Juulsen, who went spinning to the ice, then whipped a shot into the top corner. Arturs Silovs got the start in net for Vancouver. The Canucks' No. 1 American Hockey League goaltender last season gave up seven goals on 18 shots before being replaced halfway through the second period by Zach Sawchenko.
