<p>Calgary Flames fans didn&#8217;t have to wait long to see @Tyler Toffoli score his first goal with his new team.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The 29-year-old winger broke in all alone on Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender @Elvis Merzlikins during the third period of Tuesday&#8217;s game after receiving an incredible lob pass from @Johnny Gaudreau.</p>
<p>Somehow, Toffoli managed to stay on his skates and dragged the puck around Merzlikins before sliding it on his backhand across the goal line.</p>
