Goals, goaltending talk of Flames camp
CALGARY – Goaltending and goalscoring are the burning issues at the Calgary Flames training camp.
Jonas Hiller signed a two-year, US$9-million deal with Calgary in the summer after the 32-year-old Swiss netminder dropped down the Anaheim Ducks goaltending depth chart at the end of his seventh season there.
Hiller brings a winning NHL record, plus playoff and Olympic Games experience to Calgary’s net.
But Hiller knows the starting job still has to be won in training camp, Karri Ramo finished last season 6-5 after his return from a February knee injury. The 28-year-old Finn posted a 17-15 record for Calgary with solid numbers of a 2.65 goal-against average and .911 save percentage.
