4. PLAYERS TO WATCH
Flames - Elias Lindholm
Lindholm is on a heater with 14 points (4G, 10A) in his last 11 games, increasing his lead in the team scoring race by three points over Tyler Toffoli at the halfway mark of the campaign.
The 28-year-old leads all Flames players in goals since being acquired prior to the 2018-19 season with 130 in 328 games. Lindholm is only two points away from becoming the fourth Flame in the past 30 years to reach 300 points with the club in 350 or fewer games. Theo Fleury (291 GP), Johnny Gaudreau (320 GP) and Robert Reichel (341 GP) are the others.
With an assist on Sunday, the Boden, Sweden native tallied his 99th-career multi-point game. He is now only eight helpers away from 300, and six goals from 200 in his career.
Blues - Jordan Kyrou
Kyrou scored twice including the dagger in the third period when these two teams first met back on Dec. 16 at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
He enters the night at the Blues' leading scorer with 38 points (19G, 19A) in 38 games.
### 5. QUOTABLE
MacKenzie Weegar on what he takes away from the Chicago game:
"We'll take the point. We're definitely not satisfied with it, but we'll take it for the first game on the road here. We need to get off to a good start. Our start wasn't good enough in Chicago, so we're definitely going to emphasize a good start against St. Louis (tonight)."
On playing two straight against the Blues:
"It's not bad. You've got to be ready to go both games. It's going to be like a mini playoff series. I think a lot of the teams are used to it because of the COVID year. But these are two huge games for us, and two huge games for them, so it's going to feel like a playoff series."
