• Flames' Erik Gudbranson: Nabs first postseason point

  05/21/2022 •

  Gudbranson picked up an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 2. Gudbranson had a shot in the first period that led to a rebound goal for Brett Ritchie. It was Gudbranson's first assist in nine postseason outings this year, and just the second playoff point of his career -- his last was a goal with the Penguins in 2018-19. The defenseman has added 22 shots, 14 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in a third-pairing role during these playoffs, but he's not expected to be much of a factor on offense.

• Flames' Erik Gudbranson: Adds assist Saturday

  04/03/2022 •

  Gudbranson logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blues. Gudbranson has a goal and an assist in his last two contests. That's not as unusual as it's been in previous years for the hard-hitting defenseman, who is up to a career-high 17 points in 68 games. He's added 111 shots on net, 129 hits, 79 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating. Michael Stone slotted into a second-pairing role Saturday with Oliver Kylington (upper body) out, so it doesn't appear Gudbranson will move off of the third pairing.
