Flames’ Versteeg proves value with pair of clutch power-play tallies

The Calgary Flames are undoubtedly getting their money's worth from Kris Versteeg.

The veteran winger - who signed a modest one-year, $950,000 deal with Calgary last summer - flashed his skillful side during the Flames' Sunday night matchup with the Anaheim Ducks, wiring in two timely power-play goals to give him 15 tallies on the season.

Versteeg kicked things off with a top-shelf snipe on Jonathan Bernier early in the second period, cutting the Ducks' 2-0 lead in half:

He added another seven minutes later, capitalizing on a 5-on-3 opportunity to tie it up after stickhandling his way around Bernier.

With those 15 goals in the bag, Versteeg now sits tied for fifth on the Flames' roster this season - not too shabby considering the veteran earns just a hair more than the club's entry-level crowd.
