Calgary Flames forward Sam Bennett showed he wasn't intimidated by the Pittsburgh Penguins' star-studded offense with a highlight-reel goal Saturday night.
The 19-year-old completely undressed Penguins defenseman Ian Cole to find himself all alone in front of the net where he put his third goal of the year top shelf past Marc-Andre Fleury to give the Flames an early 3-1 lead.

Bennett also assisted Joe Colborne on the first goal of the game. The multi-point opening period gives the teenager eight points in six games.
