Joel Hanley scored his first goal of the season at 13:26 of the third period to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks.

If the Calgary Flames are going to actually pull this off, defy the odds and surpass every expectation by booking themselves a spot in the playoffs in the spring, they’re going to need unlikely heroes to step up.

On the go-ahead goal at 13:28 of the third period, Hanley took a drop pass from Nazem Kadri and snapped a shot on net. Jonathan Huberdeau, screening in front, dug out the rebound and slid it back to Hanley who ripped a shot past Alexandar Georgiev on his blocker side. He then turned to the roaring home fans pumping his right arm in the air.
