On April 17, Zayn Perrek, the Calgary Flames Top Prospect, lit the lamp with a goal against the Los Angeles Kings on April 16, 2000.

26. At just 20 years old, this kid's already quarterbacking the top power play unit and logging heavy minutes in the spotlight.

The Flames have been on a rollercoaster lately, grabbing a 5-3 win over the ducks to extend Anaheim's 5-game skid, then rolling to a 7-3 blowout against the conucks.

But they also got buried 9-2 by the avalanche and dropped a 6-3 decision to the Golden Knights.

Fans are buzzing about Perrek's upside. He's a work in progress with star potential, and early trade deadline moves are paying off big on the ice.

Turning depth adds into real impact. Calgary's mixing gritty home wins with tough road losses, like that 4-1 defeat in Seattle.

Now reports say the Fenceman Colton Perraiko turned down a trade to Buffalo and wants to stay west, eyeing the Kings or ducks.

Meanwhile, Perrek's popping up on fantasy waiver wires as a power play gem. Flames keep pushing through the grind, with Perrek leading the charge, watch this young gun keep turning heads as the season heats up.
