A mere thirty seconds into the Calgary Flames‘ visit to Pittsburgh, they found themselves down 0-1. Patric Hornqvist gave them a warm welcome by tapping in a rebound that went off goalie Joni Ortio‘s skate.
The Flames, who had one win in their last eleven games, struck right back as Joe Colborne scored one to even it up a little under two minutes in. With two goals within the first two minutes, this looked like it was going to be a high-scoring game.
This was Pittsburgh Penguins‘ forward Josh Archibald‘s first NHL game.
