Calgary Flames top left winger Johnny Gaudreau suffered a fractured finger in the game against the Minnesota Wild on November 15th. He required surgery and would be out an estimated six weeks (I will never forgive you for this Eric Staal).
So how have the Flames been doing since this injury?
How do the lines look?
It was a pretty clear option who would replace him alongside Sean Monahan and Troy Brouwer on first line. And that player was Sam Bennett who definitely proved himself as worthy enough for first line since the Gaudreau injury.
