The left wing signed with Colorado this past summer as a free agent and now has three points (one goal, two assists) to begin the season.
His tally came in the middle frame and made it a 2-1 game after the Predators took a two-goal lead into the first intermission.
"I thought we kind of tip-toed into the game, whether that is us having a few days off or not, we got to be ready to start against teams like that," said Calvert. "They are obviously ahead of us in the standings and a division rival, so those got to be games we got to get up for right away. Obviously, a couple [goals get] called off and the one we did score went upstairs too, so those are tough momentum boosts but you try and learn from those."
Colorado technically found the back of the net three times in the contest, but each one went to video review and two of the plays were ultimately were deemed offside.
"I got to try and find reviews or replays that they have, because to me one could be inconclusive, maybe both, I don't know," said head coach Jared Bednar. "But, I think that our execution was poor today. Tape-to-tape passes we are throwing into guys' skates, even when there aren't players in between us. Going offside on goals, that's part of execution, slows down our pace, slows down the tempo of our game.
"I didn't think we skated that bad, we had a little bit of a slow start but I thought we got better in the second certainly, but some of the execution stuff… The two goals getting called back to me is just another aspect of our lack of execution."
