Calgary: A Week in Review (October 26th to November 1st, 2019)

Record this week: 2–0-0

Game 14:
Calgary Chinook 4 Parry Sound Orrsmen 3

Letang has 3 points in Chinook’ 4-3 win over Orrsmen

PARRY SOUND - The Calgary Chinook are a far better team when Defensemen
jumps into the play like play-making defenseman Kris Letang did yesterday night.
“He's such a good player when he plays the game the right way,” coach Eugene
Yip said.  “He's a competitive guy. He really cares. He can make plays, he can score, he
does it all.” Letang poked holes in the Orrsemen defense in helping the Chinook build a 3-1
lead by the 2nd period and eventually beat Parry Sound for the third straight time
this season. He set up Bobby Ryan’s 1st goal of the season with a pass that found the veteran
forward wide open to the right of the net early in the first period. Letang's no-look
pass from the right point set up Nino Niederreiter to make it 2-0.

Aleksander Barkov also scored in a game the Chinook never trailed. Carey Price
stopped 32 shots in the game.  Calgary improved to 9-5-0, and moved three points ahead of sixth-place.

Game 15:

Gillam Sharks 3 Calgary Chinook 5

Chinook erupt for five goals in the first period, handed the Sharks fifth loss in a row

The Calgary Chinook exploded with five goals in the first period against the
slumping Gillam Sharks. David Pastrnak started the offensive outburst with a power-play goal in the first seven minutes of the opening period. Pasta skated in close and fired a shot over
the right shoulder of Sharks goaltender Keith Kinkaid.

Under two minutes later, It was Aleksander Barkov with his fourth of the season. After a face-off, the puck slid into the slot and Barkov scooped it up and deposited it into the net. Johnny Gaudreau scored his sixth and seventh goals in the middle of the first period. Gillam pulled Kinkaid after he surrendered four goals on six shots in less than 15 minutes.

Three of Calgary’ first five scores came on the power play.

“The first period was pretty good, scoring from everyone,” said Chinook coach
Eugene Yip. “I thought we played a really direct period. Sometimes that's mistaken
for not being offensive, but I thought we supported the puck really well. We were
on top of their defencemen in the first period, came out fast and hard.”
