CALGARY – After a 2-1 loss against the Owls in the previous game, GM/Coach Eugene Yip started juggling the line hopes to spark some offence and apparently it’s working. Carey Price stopped 29 shots, Jakob Silfverberg had two goals and Calgary beat Seattle 5-2 Friday.
All four lines scored even-strength goals in this game. Crosby is paired up with Niederreiter and Pastrnak, O’Reilly with Panarin and Silfverberg, Backlund with Gaudreau and Pavelski, all three lines were having ice time evenly. “I think this works quite well. “Said Eugene. “All three of these lines can score and pose threat to the opponents. I thought it was a great response to last game to bounce back like that."
Despite outshooting the Reign 40-31, This is a game that Price has shown a lot of poise, making key saves at the right time. “
"Yeah, it's good to have a game that I get to work constantly," Price said. "Anytime there's a disappointing game, I always like to get back in there right away, just so you can forget about it. It was good."
Alex Pietrangelo collides awkwardly with Calle Jarnkrok at the start of the game, forcing both to leave the game early in the first period. After evaluation, Pietrangelo is to be out day to day with a lower-body injury. Expect Alex to miss 2-3 games.
