It's never happening for Calgary again.

There have been two 5-goal games in the NHL since 2000:

Marian Gaborik, Dec 20, 2007 and Johan Franzen, Feb 2, 2011.

There are 13 franchises who have never had a player score 5 goals in a game: Anaheim, Boston, Carolina, Columbus, Florida, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Ottawa, San Jose, Tampa Bay, Vancouver, Winnipeg.

Yes, a bunch of those are more recent expansion teams, but there's an "Original Six" team on there, as well as New Jersey, LA, Carolina, and Vancouver who all have franchise history stretching back to the late 60's/early 70's.

That's one of the safest promotions I can think of in terms of something that sounds like it may pay out but never, ever will.

If Vegas set the under/over for 5 goal games in the NHL for the decade at 1.5 I'd probably bet the under.

Never happening.

Reason: Clarifying, no 5 goal scorers for the FLAMES, not NHL as a whole.
