THE MATCH-UP

HERE'S JOHNNY

Gaudreau has plenty of success against Philadelphia in his career, posting nine points in six games. Last month, he scored one goal and two assists in the 5-4 OT win over the Flyers - his second multi-point outing against Philadelphia in his career. Gaudreau is coming off a two-point performance against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. He leads the Flames 36 points through 26 skates this season.

HITTING 700

Mark Giordano will play in his 700th NHL game this evening. The undrafted defenceman signed with Calgary as a free agent in 2004, rising through the ranks to become the Flames' captain in 2013. He ranks seventh in franchise history for games played and is just 11 behind Jim Peplinksi for sixth. Over 699 games, he has 102 goals and 348 points. He has been an NHL All-Star on two occasions, won the NHL Foundation Player Award in 2016 and won the ESPY's Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award this past July. This year, Giordano has three goals and eight points in 26 games.
