Tobias Rieder Scores Short-Handed Goal, Ties Playoff Record
4 years agoCalgary Flames forward Tobias Rieder picked up his third short-handed goal of the playoffs in Game 4 as Calgary fell 5-4 to the Stars in overtime. Rieder has a pair of short-handed goals in this series and picked up another in the qualifying round series against Winnipeg. Rieder had only four goals in the regular season, including one on the penalty kill, and has almost matched that total in eight postseason games. That underscores how Rieder cannot be trusted to keep this hot streak going, however with Matthew Tkachuk out of the lineup, Rieder has been skating on Calgary's second line and has seen more than 18 minutes of ice time in each of the last two games. Along with his continued usage as one of Calgary's top penalty killers, Reider is a budget option to rack up fantasy points while he is playing up in the lineup.
