Lindholm’s snipe, his third in as many games, was a brilliant conversion of a Johnny Gaudreau centering pass midway through the opening period.“I think the last couple games we’ve been getting shots and good looks, but not second and third shots,” said Mangiapane.
Both first-period goals came after Milan Lucic turned the tide with a fight versus Givani Smith that seemed to settle the Flames down somewhat after a shaky start.In his season debut as the team’s second-line centre, Dillon Dube was one of the best Flames forwards, using his speed to gain the offensive zone and set up Mangiapane’s strike.
Tyler Pitlick, who missed the first two games after suffering a lower-body injury early in training camp, made his season debut and was most notable when using his big frame to bowl over Gustav Lindstrom. On a third pairing with Juuso Valimaki that will be watched closely when deployed, the 29-year-old played 18:45, which included a team-high three-and-a-half minutes killing penalties.
