NHL Rink Wrap: 5 assists for Gaudreau; Fleury wins Minnesota debut
What an incredible, amazing year for the Calgary Flames, and especially their top-line duo of Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuck. They both had monster games in the Flames’ 9-5 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, with Tkachuk finishing with two goals and two assists while Gaudreau had five assists. He is now up to 90 points on the season, good enough for third place in the entire NHL. His career year is coming at a perfect time as he is set to be an unrestricted free agent after this season and is playing his way to an absolutely massive contract for somebody. Tkachuk is sixth in the NHL scoring race with 82 points. The Flames continue to distance themselves from the rest of the pack in the Western Conference’s Pacific Division with the win. All nine of the Flames’ goals on Saturday were scored during 5-on-5 play.
