Jonathan Huberdeau had two primary assists including setting up Mikael Backlund’s OT winner as the Flames beat the New York Rangers 3-2
Jonathan Huberdeau’s first season in Calgary has been tough, but he hopes Saturday night was a sign that things are turning around.
After finishing tied for second in NHL scoring last season with 115 points , Huberdeau was traded to Calgary in the summer in a blockbuster deal that sent Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers.“I just got to move my feet, that’s when good things happen, and make some plays and shoot a little bit more,” said Huberdeau.
“Great shot by him seeing that we had some room in front there,” said Backlund. “He had a good night for us and he played really well, created a lot of chances and looks in the o-zone.” “Going down early like we did, first two shifts of the game 2-0, in order to get a point we had to claw back,” said Rangers centre Vincent Trocheck, who had two assists. “I thought we played a good game the rest of the way. Just first two minutes really killed us.”
“It’s two points, good team effort,” said Markstrom, who won for just the second time since Jan. 6. “We’re a team and we stick together and today showed a great team effort from puck drop til OT.” The Flames know that the type of effort they got Saturday needs to become the norm if they’re going to qualify for the post-season.
