CALGARY — Matt Coronato continues to be the talk of the Calgary Flames training camp.
The 20-year-old right-winger impressed once again on Monday, scoring the go-ahead goal in the third period to go along with a pair of primary assists as he led Calgary to a 5-4 victory over the Winnipeg Jets in NHL pre-season action.
“His shot's up there with the top guys in this league, for sure. The way he releases, how quick it is,” said Dillon Dube, who also scored. “But those little plays that he's making, it's hard to do, and it shows why he's an elite-level player.” Coronato signed with the club last spring after his second season of NCAA with Harvard came to a conclusion. He was with Calgary for the final couple weeks of the season, making his NHL debut in the final game of the regular season.“If you watch him away from pucks when he doesn't have it, how hard he works to try to get it back. That's why he's had success. He's been like a dog on a bone and he is hunting things hard,” said Flames coach Ryan Huska.
Ruzicka got the barrage going at 11:57, neatly completing a tick-tack-toe passing sequence with Yegor Sharangovich and Coronato by scoring on a nice move to his backhand.
