Nazem Kadri's 1,000th Game: Flames Face Blue Jackets at Home
Calgary, get ready for some home-ice hockey! The Flames are back tonight after a recent road swing, and the Saddledome is buzzing.
The Flames hit the ice at 7:30 PM MT to face the Columbus Blue Jackets. Calgary, sitting at 3-9-2, will aim to climb the standings against a 7-5-0 Columbus squad.
Tonight is a monumental occasion for Nazem Kadri, who plays his 1,000th regular season NHL game. Kadri, originally drafted seventh overall in 2009, joins an elite club, as only about 3.5% of NHL players ever reach this incredible milestone. He is also the twelfth player in franchise history to hit the 1,000-game mark while wearing a Flames uniform.
