On Sunday night at the palatial Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary Flames blueliner Hunter Brzustewicz did something he had hoped to do for years.

He scored a goal in the National Hockey League.

The Flames lost, dropping a 4-3 overtime contest to the Anaheim Ducks, but there was a bit of a silver lining due to the Flames’ improved overall play and Brzustewicz’s goal. (Brzustewicz joked of Adam Klapka’s post-goal hug that “He picked me up and twirled me around like I was a stringbean.”)

With Brzustewicz’s tally, four different Flames prospects have lit the lamp for the first time during the 2025-26 season. We’ve collected the four first NHL goals here.

With the Flames trailing 3-0 in their opening game against Edmonton, Gridin was trying to make a play off a rush sequence. He threw the puck into the slot area, intending to pass to Matt Coronato. Instead, the puck hit Noah Philp’s skate and wobbled into the Edmonton net past netminder Stuart Skinner.
