Colborne recorded a power-play tally, two helpers and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-3 victory over the Canucks.

Analysis:

Colborne is right next to Mikael Backlund on the second line, and both are finishing extremely strong. The 26-year-old has seven points in his last three, notching two markers and five apples in that short span. Looking further back, the center has reached the scoresheet in five of the last six, totaling 11 points. Yes, the minus-9 rating is disappointing when comparing last season's plus-7, but Colborne has reached a new level this campaign and should continue to improve with the Flames.
