Early on in Sunday’s seventh win in a row, the Calgary Flames provided an interesting snapshot that helps explain how this team managed to hit the midway mark of the season as the NHL’s hottest club.
All three Flames forwards on the ice – Mark Jankowski, Garnet Hathaway and Andrew Mangiapane – had started the season as a line in the AHL.
On the blue line was another Flames farmhand – Brett Kulak – who’d played just 30 games over the last three years with the Flames.
