CALGARY, Alberta -- Dougie Hamilton wasnt going to change his approach after being held without a goal through Calgarys first eight games. His patience paid off Friday night.Hamilton scored his first two goals of the season and added an assist to lead the Flames to a 5-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators for their third straight win.For me, I have to get pucks on net. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they dont, you just have to keep shooting, said Hamilton, who entered the game with 22 shots, second on the team.Hamilton broke a 2-2 tie halfway through the second when, from the sideboards, he spun and whipped a shot from a bad angle over Chris Driedgers shoulder.It was the second goal on five shots to beat the rookie goaltender, who entered the game with a 2-1 lead. He took over to begin the second after Andrew Hammond left with a lower-body injury.There was definitely a little bit of nerves early, said Driedger, who finished with just 11 stops on 15 shots in his third NHL appearance. A tough game to stay into with not a lot of shots, but theres no excuses.Sam Bennett, Sean Monahan and Michael Frolik also scored for Calgary. Johnny Gaudreau and former Senator Alex Chiasson each had two assists.Brian Elliott stopped 31 shots and has started each game during the Flames winning streak.Hes a veteran guy and he knows how to manage the ebbs and flow, Calgary coach Glen Gulutzan said. Hes a worker, hes a grinder, and he stays with it and he got rewarded tonight. After those two bounces, he played really good for us.After a rocky first three starts in a Flames uniform in which he gave up 14 goals on 87 shots, Elliott has been much sharper his last three starts while yielding just five goals on 88 shots.At the start of the year we didnt really know what kind of team we were and how to play effectively, Elliott said. Now guys are really buying into what we need to do.Erik Karlsson and Kyle Turris scored for Ottawa.(Driedger) gave us a chance. They just scored on the chances that they had, Karlsson said. They scored from the corner, they hit the boards and it bounced. Thats the way its going to be sometimes.Bennett tied the game 2-2 just 1:25 into the second on a setup from Chiasson. He has goals in three consecutive games and has six points during a four-game point streak.The story of the first period was Ottawas 30th-ranked power play, which looked anything like that.Trailing 1-0, the Senators needed just 4 seconds on their first man-advantage for Karlsson to tie the game. Two minutes later, Ottawa went back to the extra man and converted again, with Turris shot eluding Elliott, who was screened by Zack Smith.Game notes Senators starting goalie Craig Anderson, coming off a shutout in Vancouver on Tuesday, was granted a leave from the team to attend to a personal matter. ... Driedger, who played three seasons of junior hockey for the Calgary Hitmen (WHL), appeared in his third NHL game -- all in relief. ... Calgary first-round pick Matthew Tkachuk played in his seventh game, creeping closer to the point where the Flames need to make a decision on whether to send him back to London of the OHL. If he plays in a 10th game, the first year of his entry-level contract will kick-in.UP NEXTSenators: At Edmonton on Sunday night before returning home for three games in five days.Flames: Host Washington on Sunday night before heading out on a four-game trip.

This story appears in ESPN The Magazines November 14 Pain Issue. Subscribe today!MYLES GARRETT DIGS dinosaurs and Dean Martin. He writes poetry instead of Twitter posts, having opted to delete his social media accounts before the 2015 season. He doesnt go to South Padre Island for spring break; he takes mission trips with his teammates to places like Haiti. He dreams of Texas A&M wins and archaeological digs, with hopes of embarking on an excavation after his playing days. Oh, and in his spare time hes college footballs most dominant pass rusher -- a 6-foot-5, 270-pound behemoth who is averaging nearly two tackles for loss per game despite constant double- and triple-teams. The junior defensive end sits atop Mel Kiper Jr.s Big Board for the 2017 NFL draft and is a virtual lock to be a top-five pick come April. But to hear Garrett talk about his future as he sits in A&Ms football ?offices in late October is to understand that the best defensive player in college football finds the most value outside of it.When Texas A&M beat Tennessee on Oct. 8 -- just a few days after Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti -- you sent out a plea for prayers and donations for those affected by the storm. When did you decide you were going to do that and why?The thought crossed my mind a couple days before the game, but it took a lot of time to build up the confidence to actually say it. That was the hardest part. Once I started going through the motions of actually doing it, it kind of just came out of me.When you were asked about your public plea, you said its important to have a purpose. Where did that belief come from?Gran and Pop. They instilled in me: Have a purpose, bigger than sports, bigger than you. That was always helping people. Its not math, its not science. Paleontology and architecture is a hobby, something I want to do for a while, but eventually you can get tired of those things. I can never get tired of helping people.Given that sentiment and the current social climate, what are your thoughts on Colin Kaepernick and the stand he has taken?He stood up for what he believed in. A lot of people are making a fuss about him wearing a Muhammad Ali shirt, but Ali did the same thing. He had an unpopular opinion, taking a negative view toward the Vietnam War. But it meant something to him. He had a cause, he had a purpose and he wasnt going to defect from that because people didnt like what he said or how he felt. He was going to stand up for what was right. And thats what Colin Kaepernick is doing. He wants to bring attention to injustice that he believes has happened in the police force, and more power to him. More people should stand up and not be afraid to do things that mean something to them.Youve heard a lot of people tell Kaepernicck to stick to sports.dddddddddddd Whats your reaction when you hear that kind of criticism?He is sticking to sports. While hes doing that, hes making a name for himself outside of it. Hes doing something that he loves alongside trying to balance being a starting quarterback.You mentioned Ali. Have you studied any other historical figures who had a social impact?We all studied MLK, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou. It was a lot easier for me to connect with people who are poets, who spoke through words on a page as well as got up and spoke in front of people. I love the people who spoke well about It doesnt take violence or It doesnt take getting up and taking it by force. You can do it simply by making a stand and standing firm in that.Has anyone had a particular impact on you?Angelou, definitely. She was so knowledgeable on everything: family, love, how you approach the day.You have a wide range of interests in a time when many athletes focus only on their sport. Why?Why start figuring out what I want to do and what I like to do after football when I have enough time now? I know my likes. I can delve deep into those when I have time. If youre waiting eight or 10 years, thats eight or 10 years you wasted on just one thing.I hear youre into old-school music. If youre picking a playlist today, who makes the cut?Journey. Marvin Gaye, hes always a good time. Queen. And you cant go wrong with some Elvis.How much do you read for leisure?When Im traveling for away games, Im reading. When Im going to the movies the night before a home game, Im reading. When Im sitting in my hotel room, Im reading. If Ive got some time after class, Im reading. If I can get away with it while Im doing treatment, Im reading.Whats the usual subject matter?It can be paleontology, discoveries. It can be new finds in astronomy or in the world.Lets play word association. Tell me the first thing that comes to your mind: dinosaurs.Raptors.Music.Marvin.Social media.Stupid.NFL draft.Bosa.Joey Bosa?For the longest time, I was trying to be a better player than him. And seeing how hes playing in the NFL, maybe I have to do it again and try to catch up. If he becomes the best, then I have to be better.What do you want to do after football?Travel. I dont know where I want to start, but I know when I want to start: right away. As soon as Im done, people who need help, I want to go where theyre living. Just go with my family and friends. ?I want to do that as well as go on archaeological digs. And maybe the people who I affect will help me down the road on those digs. If it starts with one person, it could have a domino effect. ' ' '
