Milan Lucic Scores Only Calgary Goal In Regulation
3 years agoCalgary Flames left-winger Milan Lucic opened the scoring in Calgary on Monday night versus the Pittsburgh Penguins. Oliver Kylington and Chris Tanev set up the Lucic tally midway into the second period. That gave Lucic six goals in 22 games. With the winger playing just 12 minutes a night, the forward's scoring chances are limited. He does have two goals in his last three games though. Lucic played 10:53 on Monday night with just the one shot on goal. The forward has a bit of value in leagues that count hits still at least.
