Calgary Flames fans went home happy Thursday night, following a 4-3 win against the Buffalo Sabres.
But a Flames fan by the name of Cindy drove home just a bit happier.
Tobias Rieder’s second-period goal was scored during the Flames’ “Minute to Win It” promotion, winning a 2019 Chevrolet Malibu for Cindy.
Her name is Cindy and she just won a 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. Tobias Rieder is now her favourite Flames player. Very cool.

Cindy’s window to win occurred for 60 seconds after a TV timeout in the second period. As if that wasn’t improbable enough, the entirety of her minute window would occur shorthanded, thanks to a Johnny Gaudreau hooking penalty.
No matter for Rieder, who scored on a shorthanded breakaway.
