The loudest reaction of the evening, at least until Dube’s sudden-death snipe, came after Gaudreau was awarded a first-period penalty-shot. The departed fan-favourite — he skedaddled as an unrestricted free-agent in July, a last-minute decision that caused plenty of consternation in Cowtown — was jeered from the moment he picked up the puck at centre, but the C of Red roared when he wired a wrister just wide of the post on Dan Vladar’s glove-side. No goal.
“I was sitting next to Eric Robinson, he’s a longtime friend. He was like, ‘Man, they’re really giving it to you out there.’ I said, ‘It’s just a great fanbase.’ It was a lot of fun. I’m glad I got to come back and play. It was a cool night.” The Flames have struggled in overtime without You-Know-Who — their record beyond 60 minutes is now 4-9 — but Monday’s winning sequence actually started when defenceman Noah Hanifin stripped the puck from his old buddy Gaudreau.
Gaudreau has now totalled 339 points on Saddledome ice — 337 of those in the Flaming C, and two on behalf of the Blue Jackets.
