MAKE IT TWO STRAIGHT

It was a clean sweep for Team McDonald.
The players in white retro jerseys skated to a 3-2 victory Monday night over Team Iginla, in the red retro silks, at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

It was the second and final instraquad tilt of this abbreviated training camp.
Team McDonald won the first one 5-2 on Jan. 7 thanks to goals from Joakim Nordstrom, Emilio Pettersen. Matthew Tkachuk, Rasmus Andersson and Dominik Simon, who had a late empty-netter.
Sean Monahan and Andrew Mangiapane scored for Team Iginla.
Team McDonald was awarded the Flames Hall Of Fame Challenge trophy for their victories.
As was the case in the first outing, Jacob Markstrom got the start for Team Iginla and David Rittich manned the cage for Team McDonald, but this time Louis Domingue came in for some action for Team Iginla in the second.
Recent Canadian World Junior players Jakob Pelletier and Connor Zary were in the lineup, as was goalie Dustin Wolf, who won gold as part of Team USA.
Team Iginla was swarming early, creating tons of chances. Big Adam Ruzicka got them on the board off a rush when he took a tight pass from Matthew Phillips near the boards and beat Rittich shortside from a tough angle with a perfectly-placed wrist shot 2:25 seconds into the tilt.

Team McDonald tied up just before the midway point of the frame courtesy of the team's leading goal-scorer from last season, Elias Lindholm.
The play started when Noah Hanifin wired a shot from the point that made it through with Markstrom making a blocker save. Tkachuk had tried to whack the puck out of the air before gathering it up and skating behind the net for a quick feed out to Lindholm, who had 29 goals in 2019-20.

Newcomer Chris Tanev made a great play with less than a minute left in the first, lying down to block a pass attempt from Nordstrom to a wide-open Sam Bennett on a 2-on-1 right in front of Rittich.
Bennett didn't play the first game, sitting out for precautionary reasons.
Hanifin made it 2-1 for Team McDonald less than five minutes into the second period, while shorthanded, when he won a foot race to get open and one-timed a cross-ice pass from Lindholm to the back of the net.

Johnny Gaudreau nearly made it 3-1 when he walked in alone down low but Markstrom got a piece of it with his arm to deflect it up and over the net.
Not long after, Gaudreau sprung Simon up the middle all alone but he, too, was denied in tight.
But they kept the pressure up on the shift and Markstrom stopped a shot by Juuso Valimaki but Gaudreau, standing on the doorstep, grabbed the rebound and went backhand and slid it home 12 minutes into the stanza.

Rittich made an absolutely stellar save on Mangiapane on a breakaway, as the forward went backhand, forehand but was denied when Rittich sprawled and got his right pad up against the post.
Later, in the third period, Domingue made his own stellar stop on Tkachuk who came in all alone but wasn't able to beat him. He also slammed the pads shut on a Dillon Dube breakaway.
The teams finished off the game with some 3-on-3 action, Mangiapane scoring in the final minute.
Post-whistle, they had a 12-man shootout with Andersson scoring for Team Iginla and Monahan and Dube scoring for Team McDonald.
