Tyson Gross scored his first NHL goal and nearly added a second as the Calgary Flames showed a much stronger effort in a hard-fought loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Tyson Gross made his NHL debut on Sunday night, March 22, against the Tampa Bay Lightning, stepping onto the ice at the Scotiabank Saddledome for the first time as a member of the Calgary Flames.

The Calgary Flames have added one of the most coveted names on the college free-agent market, signing Calgary-born centre Tyson Gross to a two-year, two-way contract worth $975,000 AAV.
