After 949 games wearing a Calgary Flames sweater, Mark Giordano will be on the other side of the ice on Thursday night when the Flames visit the Seattle Kraken. It’ll be Giordano’s first game against the Flames after serving as their captain from 2013 through 2021 – something known commonly as a Revenge Game.
We were curious, so we took a look back at a few Revenge Games from other departed Flames captains to see what to expect. (Excluded, obviously, are players who retired right after their stints with the Flames.)
Jarome Iginla
The Flames traded Iginla to Pittsburgh at the 2013 trade deadline, but his first game against the Flames was with the Bruins.
