In a season of unfathomable success in Calgary, Johnny Gaudreau’s career year has been key to his Flames dominating the West. Now he sits just two points away from a mark no one in Flames silks has hit in nearly three decades. (via EricFrancis)
After giving several of his stars the night off in Los Angeles and Anaheim this week, coach Bill Peters suggested all week he’d ice his playoff roster Saturday when the Oilers come into town.
But you can bet Gaudreau won’t be coming out of the lineup, giving him a shot at the historic mark even Jarome Iginla never hit. “But I realize how close I am. That’s not the reason why I’m playing though right now. I feel good. You guys have known me long enough — I like to be on the ice. I want to be out there, I want to be playing the game rather than sitting in the press box watching my teammates play. I feel rested. I feel ready to go.”
