Kulak scores twice, Calgary blanks Winnipeg in NHL exhibition
WINNIPEG — Brett Kulak wants to show the Calgary Flames that he belongs with them this season.
The defenceman took some steps toward doing that on Tuesday, scoring a pair of goals and adding an assist in Calgary’s 3-0 NHL exhibition victory over the Winnipeg Jets.
“I’ve just come in with a frame of mind this year that I want to take a job on this team and I feel ready to play at this level,” Kulak said.
The 22-year-old native of Edmonton played eight games with the Flames last season and 59 in the American Hockey League with the Stockton Heat. He had three goals and 17 points with the Heat and none with the Flames. He also played one game for Calgary the previous season.
