Calgary Flames forward Matt Coronato's first goal shows exactly what could make him special
Out on the power play, Matthew Coronato skated into a little open ice and then took a nice feed from Elias Lindholm and ripped the puck into the back of the Pittsburgh Penguins net.There was no mistake. The sweet release we’ve heard about since the day he was drafted was on full-display. The speed of the puck, the accuracy … it was all there.
The Flames have installed Coronato on their first power-play unit despite him being the youngest player on their team and having only one game of NHL experience to his name prior to the start of the season.Thanks for signing up!The next issue of Calgary Sun Headline News will soon be in your inbox.It’s easy to see why they’ve given him such a prominent role. His shot is unique and he already seems to have a real sense of where he needs to get on the ice to use it most effectively.
In the moment, there was no question Coronato was on cloud-nine after scoring. He had a massive smile on his face and was swarmed by his teammates. Talking about it post-game might have felt a little strange given the end result of the game for Coronato himself, but the rest of the Flames were happy to pump his tires a little.You only get to score your first NHL goal once, obviously, and they wanted him to cherish it.
