Young Stars Tournament Game #3: Flames vs. Sharks

Joni Ortio was the story of the game as the Finnish goaltender led the Flames to a 4-1 victory against the Vancouver Canucks' prospects.

Despite giving up the first goal, the Flames were able to rally around the strong play of their goaltender (and, according to the bench, a decisively won Michael Ferland fight) and come back with four straight goals. Dylan Smoskowitz (Smoskowitz!) got the Flames on the board while John Ramage scored the game winner. A quick pair of goals from Eric Roy, making his debut, and Sean Monahan, the beneficiary of a two-on-one with Ferland, sealed the Canucks' fate. Ortio stopped 39 of 40 shots, including several highlight reel saves.

The Flames will finish the Young Stars tournament with a game against the San Jose Sharks' prospects. The Sharks have lost both of their games, falling 3-2 to the Canucks and 5-3 to the Winnipeg Jets' prospects. They'll be looking to go home with a win, but may be in tough as 18th overall pick Mirco Mueller may not play due to injury.

Max Reinhart sits tonight, capping off a great tournament with one goal and two points in two games. Linden Penner, Zach Davies, and Ryan Culkin are the other scratches, while Laurent Brossoit gets the start.
