3 Flames standouts in pre

The Calgary Flames hit the ice for the third time in this exhibition season on Thursday night, trekking to the Emerald City to visit the Seattle Kraken.

The Kraken dressed their opening night NHL roster, more or less. The Flames had far more prospective members of the Calgary Wranglers than NHLers. And yet, it was a really competitive, close game that the Flames ended up losing after a shootout by a 4-3 score.

Here are three Flames that made an impression over 65+ minutes at Climate Pledge Arena.

Brennan Othmann

In his first pre-season game back on Sunday, Othmann played 53 minutes before he was tossed for an errant elbow that hit Kraken defender Ville Ottovainen. Despite his short stint in the game, he was noticeable – as noted post-game that evening by Flames head coach Ryan Huska.
