Mikael Backlund, who had a hard time on the goal front this season, started the shooter with a shot from the left technical circle in the fourth minute.

After goals from Andrew Mangiapane and Matthew Tkachuk in the second period, Calgary led 3-0 to third.

62 shots on goal

Then Elias Lindholm struck already after 30 seconds.

The goal was almost entirely the merit of star Johnny Gaudreau.

The nimble American took the puck in his own zone and then dribbled his way through the whole of Columbus.

At the extended goal line, he released the puck back to Lindholm who only needed to angle in 4-0.

The match finally ended 6-0 after, among other things, another goal by Tkachuk.

Jacob Markström met all 23 shots for the season's sixth and NHL career fourteenth zero.

No other goalkeeper has nailed it again as often as Markström this season.

Colleague in the Columbus goal, lightweight Elvis Merzlikins, had it sweatier.

Calgary shot a total of 62 shots on goal, which is a new record for the team.

Backlund fired eight, most of all players.

Goals in powerplay

There were more Swedes who were successful in tonight's NHL round.

Jonathan Dahlén in San José scored one of the goals when the team won 4-1 against Washington.

Toronto's William Nylander scored in powerplay when Toronto won 4-3 against Anaheim after penalties.

Jakob Silfverberg netted in the losing team.

Nylander also got an assist and is now up to 40 points in a total of 39 matches.
