Game Night: Flames vs. Golden Knights

WHY WATCH?

HANIFIN’S HOT

Add Noah Hanifin to the list of Flames players who are having career seasons. Over the last 10 games, the 25-year-old blueliner has two goals and 13 assists on the team’s top pairing with Rasmus Andersson.

POINTS LEADERS

FLAMES

Johnny Gaudreau — 73 GP, 34 G, 67 A, 101 PTS, +56
Matthew Tkachuk — 73 GP, 37 G, 55 A, 92 PTS +49
Elias Lindholm — 73 GP, 38 G, 36 A, 74 PTS, +53

GOLDEN KNIGHTS

Jonathan Marchessault — 68 GP, 28 G, 32 A, 60 PTS, +4
Chandler Stephenson — 71 GP, 17 G, 40 A, 57 PTS, +3
Shea Theodore — 70 GP, 13 G, 31 A, 44 PTS, +5

SPECIAL TEAMS

FLAMES: PP — 23.6% (8th) PK — 84.0% (5th)
GOLDEN KNIGHTS: PP — 17.5% (24th) PK — 77.4% (21st)

It’s the final regular season meeting between these clubs and, historically, the Golden Knights have had the Flames’ number. Calgary has just a 4-9 record since Vegas came into the league in 2017, including a string of four consecutive losses before a 6-0 blanking on Feb. 9 at home.

Preview
Vegas at Calgary

Going forward, though, the Golden Knights are seeing more key players return from injury. The most recent is captain Mark Stone, who suited up in Vancouver after missing 26 games due to a back injury.

"We got eight games left, but I've never stepped foot on the ice in the same uniform as Jack Eichel," said Stone, whose return could ignite a power play that has been skunked in seven consecutive games. "So I think we're still reading off each other, but it will come."

The Flames can clinch a playoff spot with a win over Vegas after extending their winning streak to five games Tuesday with a 5-3 comeback victory over the Seattle Kraken. They trailed 3-1 heading into the third period, but Johnny Gaudreau collected a pair of assists to reach the 100-point mark for the first time in his career -- becoming the first for Calgary since Theo Fleury in 1992-93.

Golden Knights need returning players to get up to snuff fast

It makes sense that the two will need time to get into a rhythm, but the Knights don’t have much. They remain out of a playoff spot, and their next two games — Thursday in Calgary and Saturday in Edmonton — could have a huge impact on their postseason chances.

Any production they get from Pacioretty and Stone — who rank first (0.968) and second (0.966) on the team in points per game — would be massive.
