Johnny Gaudreau skates through entire Tampa Bay defense to set up goal

The Calgary Flames may not be ready to compete for a playoff spot this season, but they have some intriguing pieces, including Johnny Gaudreau.

The Calgary Flames may not win a lot this season, but they have some interesting pieces that could be the foundation of something down the line, including the trio of Mikael Backlund, Mark Giordano and T.J. Brodie.

And then there is Johnny Gaudreau.

The former NCAA superstar is starting to get his feet wet in the NHL and on Tuesday night he showed off some of his potential. Gaudreau took on the entire Tampa Bay Lightning defense and blew right through them, setting up Dennis Wideman to give the Flames a 1-0 lead.

The only bad news for the Flames is Gaudreau ended up crashing into the boards and headed to the locker room.
