Flames beat Canucks 3-1 as Matvei Gridin sets up two goals
Matvei Gridin assisted twice as Calgary Flames beat Vancouver Canucks 3-1 in a pre-season game, though both clubs remain pointless after two games in the table.
Calgary Flames beat Vancouver Canucks 3-1 in a pre-season game at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
In the 35th minute, Matt Coronato in the 38th and Samuel Honzek in the 39th. Arshdeep Bains pulled one back for Vancouver in the 47th, and that was the end of the scoring.
Matvei Gridin, the 20-year-old Russian forward, set up two of the goals. They were his first points of this pre-season. Last year he played 37 games for Calgary and collected 20 points (6+14).
Yan Kuznetsov and Maxim Tsyplakov suited up for Calgary, Kirill Kudryavtsev for Vancouver. None of the four registered a point.
Both clubs are winless after two games, Calgary fifth and Vancouver seventh.
A pre-season result only. If Gridin keeps producing at this rate, it may strengthen his case for a regular place in the Flames line-up.
