GAUDREAU EXTENDS POINT STREAK TO 10 GAMES IN FLAMES VICTORY
Johnny Gaudreau collected 1-1—2 to help the Flames defeat the Capitals and improve to 7-2-0 in their last nine games. Gaudreau extended his career-high point streak to 10 contests (8-11—19), including at least one goal in each of his last six games and multi-point performances in his last five.

* Gaudreau ranks third in the NHL with 10-21—31 overall this season, behind only Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos (10-25—35) and Nikita Kucherov (17-16—33). His 10-game point streak trails Stamkos and Kucherov – who had simultaneous 11-game point streaks from Oct. 6-26 – for the longest such run in the NHL this season.

* Elias notes that Gaudreau became the first Flames player to record multiple points in five consecutive team games since Jarome Iginla from Feb. 28 – March 7, 2002 (6-6—12). Gaudreau became just the second player to accomplish the feat this season, joining Stamkos from Oct. 16-24 (2-11—13).

* Keller has registered 11-9—20 this season (23 GP) and moved past Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (4-15—19 in 20 GP) to reclaim the rookie scoring lead.

* Since making his League debut on Oct. 9, 2010, Ekman-Larsson leads all NHL defensemen with 26 game-winning goals and ranks second with 42 power-play goals (Shea Weber: 64).
