<p>Calgary Flames forward Elias Lindholm is officially a 40-goal scorer!</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Swedish centre reached the milestone with a power-play goal early in the second period of Saturday&#8217;s game against the Vancouver Canucks.</p>
<p>After taking a slick pass from @Johnny Gaudreau at the top of the right face-off circle, Lindholm unleashed a rocket of a wrist shot that sailed over the glove of Canucks goaltender @Thatcher Demko.</p>
<p>@Noah Hanifin also picked up an assist on Lindholm&#8217;s 40th goal of the season, which came just 2:44 into the middle frame on Saturday.</p>

<p>With his helper on the goal, @Johnny Gaudreau became the third player in Flames franchise history to reach the 110-point mark in a single season.</p>
<p>Gaudreau has now tied Joe Mullen for second on the franchise&#8217;s single-season points leaderboard; both players trail only Kent Nilsson, who scored a whopping 131 points during the team&#8217;s first season in Calgary.</p>
