Watch: Jakob Pelletier scores his first NHL goal against the Buffalo Sabres

Calgary Flames forward Jakob Pelletier scored his first National Hockey League goal to spark a comeback for his team in the second period of Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres.

With the Flames down 2–0, Pelletier outraced Sabres forward Victor Olofsson in transition to create a partial 2-on-1 rush. Racing down the right side, Nazem Kadri feathered a perfect saucer pass over to Pelletier, who fired a wrister under Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s blocker to put the Flames on the board.

Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau picked up the assists on Pelletier’s first NHL goal, which came at the 2:17 mark of the second period. The Flames subsequently tacked on three more goals in the next 5:22 to take a 4–2 lead over the Sabres.
