Jakob Pelletier - Joins goal-scoring ranksPelletier scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Sabres.
ImpactPelletier sparked the Flames' comeback by scoring their first goal at 2:17 of the second period. It was the 21-year-old's first NHL tally and point -- he's had some growing pains during his first taste of action with the Flames. The winger has added 14 shots on net and a plus-1 rating while skating with Jonathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri at even strength for the bulk of his time with the big club. If the Flames opt to buy at the trade deadline, Pelletier could be heading back to AHL Calgary, so there's not much reason for managers in redraft formats to keep an eye on him yet.

Chris Tanev - Two helpers in winTanev posted two assists and blocked five shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Sabres.
ImpactTanev picked up both assists in the second period, helping out on goals by Mikael Backlund and Nazem Kadri. This was Tanev's second multi-point effort of the season, both of which have come in his last eight games. The 33-year-old defenseman has 10 points, 92 blocked, 41 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 43 contests as a defensive presence in the Flames' top four.

Mikael Backlund - Tickles twine SaturdayBacklund scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Sabres.
ImpactBacklund tied the game at 2-2 just 20 seconds after Jakob Pelletier's first NHL goal got the Flames on the board. The 33-year-old Backlund had gone 10 games without a goal prior to Saturday, but he did manage 10 assists in that span. The center is known for strong second halves of seasons, so this recent surge should come as no surprise. He's at 10 tallies, 33 points, 163 shots, 57 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-15 rating through 53 contests overall.
