And the goal?
It was perfect example of what that formidable unit brings the table.
Mikael Backlund won a puck battle and made a beautiful pass down low, where Coleman and Andrew Mangiapane took over and kept up the pressure.
It forced the Panthers into a series of miscues, careless checking attempts and grenade-like passes.
Mangiapane and Backlund did the rest after another forced error, double-teaming the puck carrier, gaining possession and dishing across the paint to Coleman for the one-timer.
Relentless.
"We're fairly similar players," said Coleman, who is heating up with goals in three of his last five games. "Guys that are ultra-competitive, guys that want to get in on the forecheck and that's where a lot of our offence comes from.
"We turn a lot of pucks over and… man, I'd hate to be (defenceman) playing against Mang on the forecheck. They both play a really good 200-foot game. We don't spend much time in our D zone because they're both good at ending and being aggressive defensively. We're all good skaters, get up and down the ice, and we all want to make plays.
"We're not always the sexiest line - we're not there making the plays that Johnny's making - but we have been effective.
"When we're on our game, we're a really tough, really annoying line to play against."
In all, the trio has played 134:49 together at 5-on-5 this year, with the bulk of that coming in mid-to-late-November.
And the numbers are staggering.
In that time, they've controlled 62.55% (147-88) of the shot volume, 63.79% (74-42) of the scoring chances, and a blinding 66.67% (30-15) of the high-danger looks.
The 'issue' (if you can even call it that) largely boils down to puck luck. The unit was playing superb defensively, surrendering only a single goal in that span - but they've had trouble finishing at the other end of the ice.
Even that - an admittedly off-pace, 4.05% shooting percentage - is almost guaranteed to bounce back.
Especially for a gunner like Coleman, who's tied with Alex Ovechkin for fifth in the NHL with 102 shots (5v5) this year.
"Typically, if you're getting the chances, it's a numbers game and a matter of time until things start to go in," he said. "But there are still things to work on to improve, whether it's finishing in practice - things like that - that I've tried to make a point of doing.
"I'd like to produce a little more at home. If you look at my splits, I think I've been a better player for us on the road than I have been at home. Just getting used to things here, little differences, obviously, in conditioning and altitude and things like that, that you didn't realize would come into play. Just have to make sure I'm better in all those aspects."
Now, you can certainly feel the tide turning. He's up to seven strikes on the year and is halfway to his total last year with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Like an angry, Alberta Clipper that winds up over the Rockies and pounds our city with snow and strong winds, the air tends to feel a bit brisk in the hours leading up.
Like a warning.
Coleman's game is following a similar flight path. He's done everything asked of him and has been a great teammate, contributing in all areas of the game and inside that Flames locker-room, but the goals have come at a premium.
If he continues to produce offence and drag others into the fight with him, this could be a game-changing line for both the player, and the Flames a whole.
"When we signed Blake in the summer, the team needed more of the work-type and character-type guys," Sutter explained. "I think he's really helped with the identity of our club with the work ethic and the experience of winning. Experience is one thing, but the experience of winning is a totally different environment.
"He gives us the option of playing two wingers, and is one of the reasons our penalty kill is near the top of the league, for sure. All those intangibles, guys like that bring.
"It's good to see him score. If you look at his history, he's a teen goal-scorer. So, you want him to be at that and expect that."
