FAST FACTS - FLAMES @ BLUE JACKETS

THE MATCH-UP

NOTABLE NOVEMBER

The Flames are 6-2-0 this month and have outscored their opponents 33-30 over that eight-game run - a marked difference from last year's run in November when they went 7-8-1. Johnny Gaudreau has led the way in scoring with seven goals and 16 points in November. Sean Monahan trails him with six goals and 12 points this month.

JOHNNY'S RUN

Gaudreau heads into tonight's game on a 10-game point streak, putting up eight goals and 19 points in that stretch. The winger leads the Flames in scoring with 31 points and is third in the NHL scoring race, trailing just Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos (35 points) and Nikita Kucherov (33 points). Gaudreau is also riding a five-game multi-point streak, becoming the first Flame to accomplish the feat since Jarome Iginla did so in the 2001-02 season. He has registered a point in all but three of the Flames games this season and has 10 multi-point games to his name this year. Gaudreau has assisted on 11 of Monahan's team-leading 12 goals this year as well.

CLOSING THINGS OUT

The Flames are 7-0-0 when leading after two periods this season, carrying over that trend from last year's run when they went 33-0-1 when leading after 40:00.
