On Monday night in Chicago, the Calgary Flames elected to deploy a forward line consisting of a former ECHLer, a 26-year-old Belarusian riding a 15-game goalless streak, and a first-round pick who cleared waivers in October.

Jakob Pelletier scored twice, and the Calgary Flames jumped out to an early first-period lead to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2. The Flames started strong in the first period as Pelletier scored his first goal of the night just over a minute into the game.
