Wideman displayed excellent passing Tuesday, tallying two helpers in a loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Wideman showed why the Flames' blue line was so dominant offensive last season, picking up two assists on some impressive passing. He found Mason Raymond streaking towards the net to open the scoring and made a nice pass to Johnny Gaudreau, who set up Jiri Hudler's power-play goal. Wideman led Calgary in ice time, accumulating 26:07, but he finished minus-1. It's surprising to see Wideman skate more than Mark Giordano (23:10) and play nearly as much as the Flames captain on the power play (3:17 to 3:15). With T.J. Brodie out, along with the increased playing time, Wideman gets a big fantasy boost.
