Game Story: I’m glad that Cooper Hopkins was with me to take the call on this one. Johnny Gaudreau made his first return to the Saddledome after signing his deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Calgary Flames were locked in an excellent and intriguing game that was so much more than could be anticipated. – https://bit.ly/3kx5bdD
Columbus, Blue Jackets, (14-30-2) HC: Brad Larsen 3-7-0 in last 10. Top Performers: Johnny Gaudreau, (13-31-44 –15); Patrik Laine, (13-12-25); Boone Jenner, (12-11-23); Gustav Nyquist, (10-12-22); Sean Kuraly, (9-4-13)
It’s the worst team in the NHL. Gaudreau still leads all categories and is the lone all-star. In the Bedard hunt. Has been in CGY 2013-2022. Had 40-75-115 +64 last season. Motivation to play spoiler? Erik Gudbranson too. Let Cooper lead today with thoughts, stats etc.
Calgary Flames: (22-16-9, just outside WC2) 5-3-2 in last 10. Coming off 6-3 win over TB at end of road trip, still a good win.
