The result was never in question, but that didn’t lessen the excitement of Corban Knight when he scored his first National Hockey League goal on Wednesday.
Knight scored Calgary’s seventh goal in a 7-2 victory over the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks, spinning and then taking a slap shot from the slot. Knight, 23, was playing in his fifth NHL game.
