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.
