Both players earned themselves a Gordie Howe hat-trick!
In case you missed it last night, the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks treated fans to a very entertaining season opener.
The two bitter rivals managed to combine for 11 goals on the game, with the Flames earning a 6-5 OT victory over the Canucks, despite the Canucks holding 3-0 and 4-1 leads earlier in the game. The Flames clawed their way back into the game after a terrible 1st period and ended up pulling out the victory thanks to an OT beauty from Connor Zary.

Again, it was a fantastically entertaining game full of good goals, bit hits and... you betcha... even a couple tilts.

Both Mantha and Miller would go on to score a goal and an assist each, earning themselves the illusive "Gordie Howe Hat-Trick", which consists of a goal, an assist and a fighting major.
