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.

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.

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.
