Overview

  • Kadri reached the milestone on Nov. 6 against the Blue Jackets at the Saddledome, taking a solo warmup lap and receiving a pregame video tribute with his family on the ice.
  • He scored in the second period for his fourth of the season, becoming only the second player to net a goal in his 1,000th game while wearing a Flames uniform after Martin Gelinas in 2003.
  • The Flames defeated Columbus 5-1, with Kadri's tally helping break the game open en route to back-to-back victories.
  • Teammates and the club marked the occasion with gifts, including a diamond “1,000” pendant and a silver mini stick presented to Kadri’s daughter.
  • Reports differ on Kadri’s ordinal place among 1,000-game players, though he continues to lead Calgary in scoring this season with 11 points in 15 games as the team struggles in the standings.
