CALGARY FLAMES NOTES:
FLAMES LAST GAME RECAP
NOVEMBER 29, 2022 – Florida Panthers [2] vs. [6] CALGARY FLAMES
The Calgary Flames returned home to begin a five-game homestand against the Florida Panthers. The Flames found the back of the net early and often with Dillon Dube opening the scoring short handed just 3:05 in. Jonathan Huberdeau would score against his former team on the power play and Rasmus Andersson would add an even strength goal as the Flames headed into the break up 3-0. Florida would claw back to within two with Nick Cousins cutting the defecate, but Brett Ritchie would restore Calgary’s three goal lead with his fifth of the season. Reinhart would add one more for Florida to make it 4-2 Flames after 40. In the third, Vladar would turn aside all 12 shots he faced, and Tyler Toffoli and Andrew Mangiapane would add their names to the scoresheet and the Flames knocked off the Panthers for the second time in 10 days with a 6-2 victory.

TONIGHTS STORYLINES & STATS
This is the first of two matchups this season between the Flames and Canadiens. The Flames fell in both games of the season-series in 2021-22.
This is a Pacific Division versus Atlantic Division Matchup; The Flames have an overall record of 2-3-0 against Atlantic Division opponents this season and a record of 5-6-3 against Eastern Conference opponents.
CRISS CROSS:
Both coaching staffs have a member who will be coaching against a former team from their playing days. Canadiens Head Coach Martin St. Louis played 69 games as a member of the Calgary Flames over two seasons, scoring four goals and 16 assists for 20 points as a Flame. On the other side, Flames Associate Coach Kirk Muller was a member of the Montreal Canadiens for parts of four seasons from 1991 to 1995, winning a Stanley Cup in 1993 and captained the team during the 1994-95 campaign. Muller recorded 247 points (104G, 143A) during his 267 games with Montreal.
KEEP IT 100:
Flames Defenseman MacKenzie Weegar recorded his 100th career NHL assist on Tuesday night against his former team, the Florida Panthers. Weegar currently has the most points by a seventh-round pick in Florida Panthers franchise history (127) and recorded 94 of his 100 career assists as a member of Florida. Weegar was a +1 and skated in over 20 minutes of ice-time on Tuesday night.
BLASTY’S BACK:
Tonight’s game will be the second straight game for the Flames in their black third jersey nicknamed ‘Blasty’. The Flames first re-introduced the black throwback jersey during the NHL’s first Reverse Retro series during the Covid-shortened 2021 season, going 3-3-0 in the six games they wore it. Dillon Dube recorded the most goals in Blasty in 2021 with four, including his first NHL hat trick against Ottawa in a 7-4 win on March 4th, 2021. Dube continued his scoring ways in Blasty with a shorthanded goal coupled with a pair of assists in Tuesday night’s 6-2 win over Florida. The Flames announced the black threads would be returning in October and are slated to wear Blasty 11 more times this season.
HOT STARTS:
The Flames came out of the gates hot to start the game on Tuesday night against the Panthers, finding the net three times in the opening 20 minutes with an even-strength goal, a shorthanded goal, and a power play goal. That was the third time they’ve scored three goals in the first period this season with the other two times coming against Edmonton to open the season on October 15th, and LA earlier in November. They have 27 first period goals and are tied for the second most goals in the first period in the NHL behind the Vegas Golden Knights.
MONAHAN’S BACK:
Montreal Canadiens forward Sean Monahan will be making his first trip to Calgary through the visitor’s entrance as he gets set to face his former team for the first time since being traded from Calgary in the offseason. Monahan was tied for the highest draft pick in Calgary Flames franchise history when he was drafted sixth overall in 2013 and played 656 games in a Calgary Flames sweater with 462 points. The Brampton, ON native has the 17th most points by an Atlanta/Calgary Flames draft pick in NHL history (476). Monahan’s 212 goals are also the eight most in Flames Franchise history. He is also tied for first in overtime goals in Flames franchise history (11).
HUBY DOO:
Jonathan Huberdeau recorded his second multi-point game as a member of the Calgary Flames with a goal and an assist in a 6-2 win against his former team the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. Since 2018-19, he has the fifth most multipoint games in the NHL with 98, and trials fourth spot (David Pasternak) by one two-point game. The Montreal, QC native has recorded one two-point game against the Canadiens over that span and has 28 points (7G, 21A) in 30 career meetings against his hometown team.
DID YOU KNOW?
Tyler Toffoli was a member of the Canadiens for parts of two seasons and was a key contributor of the Canadiens team than went to the 2021 Stanley Cup Finals with 14 points (5G, 9A) in 22 playoff games, including the series clincher in overtime against Winnipeg. He was acquired by the Flames via trade last season. MacKenzie Weegar played his first NHL game against the Montreal Canadiens back on April 3rd of 2017. Dillon Dube scored his second shorthanded goal of the season on Tuesday, only Reilly Smith has more this season (3).
