Embarrassing night for the Flames and their two goalies in an 8-1 preseason loss to the Canucks. Neither backup impressed, Parekh was minus-4, and Pospisil and Huberdeau left with injuries, although both skated off on their own. Coach said he was concerned with the effort

Matvei Gridin scores his third of the preseason, slipping a nifty backhand under Hellebuyck. The Flames only need to make one cut before the opener and the 19-year-old is making a case to stay up. Fact is, unless Huberdeau remains day to day (or there is another injury) Gridin is
