The 2019-20 regular season has been completed, friends, with the Calgary Flames posting a 36-27-7 record over 70 games. The statistics for the regular season have been locked down, so let’s take a look at the club’s leaders.
Games Played

David Rittich played 48 games in net, leading Flames goalies for a second season in a row.
Goals
Lindholm scored 29 goals, leading the Flames. It’s the first time since 2013-14 that a player other than Gaudreau or Monahan led in that category. Gaudreau led in 2018-19 (36) and 2015-16 (30). Monahan led in 2017-18 (31), 2016-17 (27) and 2014-15 (31).
Lindholm also led in game winning goals with eight, making him the fourth different team leader in the past four seasons (following Backlund, Monahan and Gaudreau).
