Ottawa Senators rookie goaltender Filip Gustavsson earned his first NHL win Monday against the Calgary Flames. When teammate Brady Tkachuk went to retrieve the game puck for the netminder to commemorate the milestone, he ran into a bit of trouble with their opponents.

Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson seemingly tried to skate off the ice with the puck in hand before Tkachuk and a referee stopped him. When the pair called Andersson out, he tossed the puck onto the ice, and Calgary's agitator Matthew Tkachuk whipped it against the wall.
The Flames heavily outplayed the Senators but were stoned by Gustavsson, who turned aside 35 of the 36 shots that came his way. Calgary is in sixth place in the North Division with a 15-14-3 record, while Ottawa sits in seventh with a 10-20-3 record.
