It’s time for the 2019 Heritage Classic! While regular season outdoor games have become a little commonplace – this will be the 28th in National Hockey League history – it’s not like every NHL player has played in one. Several Calgary Flames players have played in outdoor contests, but a lot of them will be heading outdoors for the first time.
Flames who’ve played outside before
Cam Talbot
Talbot is dressing for his fifth outdoor game with his fourth team, which is definitely some kind of weird record. He was Henrik Lundqvist’s backup in two Stadium Series games in 2014 for the Rangers, backed up in the 2019 Stadium Series for the Flyers, and actually played in the 2016 Heritage Classic for the Oilers.
