Looking back at 800 games of Mark Giordano
Calgary Flames captain Mark Giordano will hit a fairly major milestone tonight when he suits up against the Arizona Coyotes. It will be Giordano’s 800th regular season game in the National Hockey League. As we look forward to his big game, we take a look back at some past milestones and just what he’s meant to the Flames franchise.
First NHL game: Jan. 30, 2006 in St. Louis
In the midst of his second American Hockey League season with the Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights, Giordano had established himself as one of the most reliable two-way players on the farm. With Roman Hamrlik on the shelf, Giordano got the call. Wearing #46, he played 14:01 in a shootout loss to the Blues.
