Johnny Gaudreau scores 100th career NHL goal

With the second Calgary Flames goal in Wednesday night’s game with the Boston Bruins, a Flame hit a big milestone. Forward Johnny Gaudreau scored his 100th career National Hockey League goal.

The 104th overall selection in the 2011 NHL Draft, Gaudreau was thought to be a longshot to make the big league based on his size. Instead, he has continued to score at a fast clip at the college and NHL levels. As you would expect, his milestone goal was assisted by Sean Monahan – it’s Monahan’s 38th assist on a Gaudreau goal.

Gaudreau’s 100th goal came in his 318th game. He’s the eighth member of the 2011 draft class to hit 100 goals – the others are Nikita Kucherov, Gabriel Landeskog, Brandon Saad, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Mark Scheifele, Mika Zibanejad and Sean Couturier.
