EDMONTON \u2014 After watching highway traffic fade away in the rear view mirror, the Flames prospects found their gear Friday night at Rogers Place, dispatching their provincial rivals from Edmonton 6-5 in the first of two rookie Battles of Alberta this weekend.<\/p>\n
Six different skaters – Hunter Laing, Nathan Brisson, Sam Honzek, Aydar Suniev, Matvei Gridin and Parker Bell – found the back of the net as Calgary rode the strength of a three-goal middle stanza to collect the victory.<\/p>\n
The hosts struck first 4:25 into the first period, going ahead on a breakaway tally from forward Viljami Marjala.<\/p>\n
But the lead was short-lived, Calgary’s prospects answered back just under four minutes later thanks to Laing, who drove to the front of the net, and accepted a centring feed from linemate Brisson before chipping the disk over the left pad of Edmonton starter Samuel Jonsson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EDMONTON \u2014 After watching highway traffic fade away in the rear view mirror, the Flames prospects found their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-140421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
