Mark Giordano made a promise and he kept it.

The Calgary Flames defenseman celebrated his son Jack's birthday on Sunday. While sitting at 499 points in his 15-season NHL career, the team captain told his son he'd get No. 500 against the Toronto Maple Leafs just for him.
When Giordano assisted on Joakim Nordstrom's first period goal, the prophecy came true.
"It feels good," Giordano said in an interview during the first intermission of the game. "I got my little guy Jack at home. It's his birthday today so I told him I'd get it for him. ... So that one's for you buddy."
For Jack Giordano, who celebrated his eighth birthday Sunday, that's a tough gift to top.
