With one game to go in the regular season, milestones are still within reach for several Flames
By Ari Yanover
7 years agoThe Flames have played 81 games this season. That leaves just one to go: and just one for a number of Flames players to reach some milestones this season.
None of these are guarantees; after all, because Game 82 is essentially meaningless, some of these players may not even dress. We saw the Flames sit a number of guys before their 2015 playoffs began; on the other hand, the Flames haven’t left it to the last minute to clinch this time around, so there may not be as much reason for anybody to sit. Besides, with the team not exactly playing at its best since clinching, it may be more important for everyone to get their reps in.
While they’re doing that, here’s what’s within reach – with some milestones much more likely to be reached than others.
