CALGARY — Life is good these days for Calgary Flames journeyman defenceman Joel Hanley.
In his first game after the birth of his second child, the 33-year-old's first goal of the season and first career game-winner helped the Flames eke out a 3-2 National Hockey League victory over the San Jose Sharks.
“Baby's healthy and the team won, so it feels great,” said Hanley, who missed the last game before the 4 Nations Face-Off break for the birth of his daughter Millie.
On the go-ahead goal at 13:28 of the third period, Hanley took a drop pass from Nazem Kadri and snapped a shot on net.
