Calgary Flames defenceman @Nikita Zadorov followed <a href="https://flamesnation.ca/2021/11/12/kylington-sets-new-career-high-for-points-in-a-season-with-incredible-end-to-end-goal-in-toronto/">@Oliver Kylington&#8217;s lead</a> in Sunday&#8217;s game against the Ottawa Senators, picking up the puck in his own end and skating it up the ice by himself before firing a pin-point wrister past goaltender @Anton Forsberg.

Kylington scored a similar goal in Calgary&#8217;s 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday, mixing in a give-and-go pass with @Johnny Gaudreau before beating @Jack Campbell on a breakaway.
Zadorov may not have Kylington&#8217;s wheels but he certainly possesses a heavier shot. He entered the Senators&#8217; zone all by himself with two Ottawa defenders standing between him and the net; despite this, Zadorov managed to unleash a shot that whistled over Forsberg&#8217;s blocker to extend the Flames&#8217; lead to 4-0.
@Blake Coleman picked up the lone assist on Zadorov&#8217;s second goal as a Flame. Here&#8217;s the video of the play (and Zadorov&#8217;s nonchalant reaction to the goal), as posted by Sportsnet&#8217;s official Twitter account:

Zadorov and Kylington now both have two goals this season, enough to lead all Flames defencemen. The 26-year-old Moscow product has two goals and three points in his first 10 games with the Flames.
@Andrew Mangiapane, @Elias Lindholm, and @Matthew Tkachuk also have goals today for Calgary, which currently leads Ottawa by a 4-0 score late in the third period.
