Seven Things to Watch for Tonight

Derek Ryan will play his 200th career game tonight.
T.J. Brodie is one game from tying Eric Vail and becoming 15th in games played as a Flame.
Johnny Gaudreau is three assists from tying Hakan Loob and becoming 15th all time in assists as a Flame. Three is a lot, but with the way Gaudreau has been playing it could happen in one night.
Mark Giordano is one point from tying Hooley Smith and becoming 93rd all time in points as an NHL defenceman. Who is Hooley Smith? He played from 1924 until 1941, amassing 426 points in 717. After Gio passes him only 7 players who played fewer games than Gio have gotten more points.
Mikael Backlund is one point from tying Willi Plett and becoming 22 in points as a Flame.
Mark Giordano is one goal from tying Sylvain Cote become 63rd all time in goals as an NHL D-man.
David Rittich will pass Brian Elliott in games played as a Flame with 50 games after tonight. Rittich is also one win from passing Elliott as well.
