Kalgary – how Matvei GridinConfidence is growing, like its chances to stay.
Like a 19-year-old Kalgary Flame Nadezhda did not make enough impression in Seattle on Monday with a goal in the second game in a row, Gidin emphasized the evening, adding the winner in the victory in the victory with a score of 2: 1 over Kraken.
Keeping into the Seattle zone, making slow, wide turns on both sides, then he broke out a shot, which is so excited with a flame, so excited that he passed by Philip Grubower to start a holiday in which a smug young man pulled his stick into a holster before he was swallowed.
“I would say that this is Gridin’s signature, like (Justin) Kirkland’s signature,” he grinned.
“Last year, I scored five goals in a shootout.”
Gridin, the first round of the flame selection in 2024, was a novice of the year QMJHL with 36 goals and 79 points in 56 games.
The soft Russian, which may just have the best combination of a shot/speed of any flame perspective, Gridin’s game was built throughout the camp.
The talents of Gridin, coach Ryan Hask, placed him on the top line with Morgan Frost and Matt Coronato on Monday. Of course, the best team of the team all night, it was responsible for the only goal of the regulation team when Gridin took a smooth pass from Ilya Solovova, rode skates alone and released the rocket past Grubyer.
“An amazing passage by Solo, separation, so I just have to score,” Gridin laughed.
“I know that my picture is my strength, so shoot more and find the back of the network. The game with Frosts and Matti strengthens my confidence, so I felt nice. “
The number of Gridin at night Dustin WolfI liked to see the debut of the NHL “Signature of Gridin”.
“I have not seen a shootout yet, until today, but I could say that he was slowly and taking up a wide meaning, he knew what he was doing,” Wolf said.
“A rather neat release. Great shot. Every day he chooses your corners. He is going to score many goals in this league. ”
Despite the fact that he still has the right to juniors, Gridin also has the right to play AHL this season, where he will probably open the season. However, if he continues to amaze as if he has the last few outputs, there is a chance that he can open the season in Big.
This is a long time, since one of the other hard solutions of Flames Brass Drass should perform Rory Kerins, which is the second leading team of the team, with four glasses in five pre -season games. Kerins was 8 out of 13 in the throwing circle on Monday, and he will become a risky player to try to miss the refusals in order to return him to the AHL.
Gridin does not require refusals, so he will most likely start minors and receive the right to raise the service.
On Monday, no one was sharper than Wolf, who made 16 of his 35 safe in the first period, when a flame with a flat leg allowed 10 chances with a high rating.
“They went out diligently in the first, and we found our support as the game continued,” said Wolf, who will make the last pre-season start on Friday at home against Winnipeg.
“This is a great step for me.”
Frost continues to impress, walking again on the top line of Flams, led by the upper power game, scoring in a shootout and ending with 11 out of 13 in a circle of throwing. His help in Gole Gridin puts him among the pre -season NHL leaders with six glasses in four outputs.
Speaking about the leaders of the League, the former prospect of Flames, Matthew Phillips, has three pre -season goals in Anaheim, one of which came out of the pace established by Sonny Milano.
Martin sleeped in vintage form, gaining fines and the wrath of Vince Dann (once again) at night, when he regularly was in a fight.
For reference, Kirkland used his signature move in a shootout, but got into the post.
The arrows of the flame were frost, Kirkland, Koronato and Gridin.
