Connor Zary scores twice, adds assist as Calgary Flames beat Edmonton Oilers 6-1
Calgary Flames center Connor Zary scores a goal against Edmonton Oilers goaltender Olivier Rodrigue during the second period at Scotiabank Saddledome. The Flames won 6-1 on Sept. 23, 2024.Connor Zary scored twice and added an assist Monday night to lead the Calgary Flames to a 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in part of a split-squad NHL pre-season doubleheader.Dan Vladar got the start for Calgary and stopped 18 of 19 shots before giving way to Waltteri Ignatjew for the third period.
Zary, who turns 23 on Wednesday, is looking to build on a solid rookie season in which he scored 14 goals and had 34 points in 63 games. Zary finished eighth in voting for the Calder Memorial Trophy, which goes to the NHL’s best rookie. Backlund and Coleman have played together for years, but this is Zary’s first look alongside the two veterans and the signs of chemistry were evident in the second period when the Flames scored four times to blow open a game that was tied 1-1 after 20 minutes.
After Zary displayed a goal-scorer’s hands firing a shot just inside the goalpost on a perfectly executed drag-and-shoot move on the power play at 9:12, his line went back to work.
