2. Kuznetsov logging big minutes
Yan Kuznetsov quietly shouldered a heavy workload, leading all Flames defencemen with 8:20 in the opening period and finishing with a substantial 22:55 total ice time alongside partner MacKenzie Weegar. This marked his ninth NHL appearance of the season, and he’s now all but certain to hit the 10-game threshold that officially burns the first year of his entry-level contract.
3. Kadri sets the tone again
Nazem Kadri was everywhere. He drew two penalties, picked up a pair of assists, and buried the shootout winner. From the opening faceoff, he dictated the pace and drove play—another reminder of how essential he is to Calgary’s identity and competitiveness.
