Nazem Kadri Reaches 1,000 NHL Games, Scores as Flames Beat Blue Jackets 5–1

Calgary marked the feat with a silver-stick presentation alongside a $50,000 foundation donation, reflecting a career defined by longevity and impact.

Overview

  • Kadri became the 411th player in NHL history to hit 1,000 regular-season games and the 38th active player at that milestone.
  • His second-period tally made him the 62nd player to score in a 1,000th game and the second to do so for the Flames, joining Martin Gelinas.
  • Calgary’s 5–1 win over Columbus at Scotiabank Saddledome capped a night that opened with a video tribute and a surprise solo warmup lap.
  • The club’s pregame ceremony included family on the ice, a $50,000 gift to the Nazem Kadri Foundation, and the traditional NHL silver stick.
  • Now in year four of a seven-year, $49 million Flames contract, the 2022 Stanley Cup winner has 11 points in 15 games after a 35-goal season.
