Bennett's first regular season goal is an important one

Sam Bennett did things a little backwards. He scored his first career NHL goal during the playoffs. Tonight he finally got his first regular season goal.

It was also a pretty important goal for the Flames. It tied the game at 4-4. Bennett's name has been floating around in all kinds of trade rumors lately. That is mostly because he is a great prospect and could get the Flames a great return. His first regular season goal wasn't the prettiest goal, but sometimes you have to be good to be lucky.

If this goal can get him going, that will be a big plus. The Flames are stuck in a rut early this season and really need to turn things around. Having different guys wake up and start to produce could be a huge push in the right direction.
