- Mark Giordano is one goal from tying Jyrki Lumme and Jerry Korab in goals as an NHL defencemen. Giordano is currently ranked 72nd of all time. To put that in perspective GIo has played 200 fewer games than both of those men.
- David Rittich is 4 saves from passing Doug Dadswell in saves as a Flames goalie. Tonight, he will also pass Dadswell and Ken Wregget in games played.
- Michael Frolik is one assists from a career 200. Even though he has 5 goals he is yet to get an assist this season.
- Elias Lindholm is one goal from passing a whole slew of old Flames including, Sven Baertschi, Brian McGrattan, Roman Cervenka, and Deryk Engelland. It will be fun to watch him charge up those all time stats as the season continues.
- James Neal is two points away from a career 500

Those stats by Monahan are pretty impressive when you bring Gilmour's name into the discussion. Different players but Calgary was privileged to have Gilmour and is privileged to have Monahan.
