Artem Katsuro's forecheck creates an Oil Kings turnover right to Carter Sanderson. Sanderson throws the puck towards the net-front area, where Katsuro buries it.
First WHL game, first AHL point for Sanderson, and a very nice bit of hockey from that duo.

Ahead of Hitmen/Oil Kings, Hitmen F Carter Sanderson (now back from Penguins camp) and Oil Kings F K.J. Sauer (back from Flyers camp), get the rookie lap treatment.
Both are making their WHL debuts this evening.

Administrative note: #Flames G Devin Cooley, D Joel Hanley, D Brayden Pachal & F Alex Nylander have all played two exhibition games, so they're not eligible to play in Saturday's finale in Edmonton as 100+ NHL game vets.

The #Flames have their second Nylander ever.
Per club, they've signed F Alex Nylander to a one year, two-way deal. His father, Michael, played with the Flames in the '90s.

#Flames prospect Alan Shaikhlislamov scored the eventual game-winner for Tolpar Ufa in a 2-1 win over Nizhny Novgorod.
In seven games, he has six goals and 10 points in Russia's top junior league.

Notably NOT on waivers today: Brennan Othmann.
We have trimmed our training camp roster and now have 3 goalies, 8 defencemen, and 16 forwards for a total of 27 players remaining at camp. cflam.es/4ju3eLo

#Flames will have a number of players on waivers for the first time later today.
Dryden Hunt, Ben Jones, Andreas Englund expected to be in that group, among others.

With one pre-season game left, what roster moves do the #Flames need to make to get down to 23 active players?
We get granular with the upcoming moves, pals.

As memorable as a pre-season game tends to get. 4-3 shootout loss for the Flames' AHL group in Seattle.

Yeah, it's pre-season. And yeah, it's against Kraken vets that are playing their first game and getting the rust off.
But so far, Chase Harrington has been (positively) noticeable against Seattle.

Seattle scores off a rush, but #Flames get goal washed out after a successful coach's challenge for off-side.
