The Calgary Flames had a busy four-game week where they finished off a six-game road trip, their longest for a while. Let’s check out the three stars for the week of November 20-26.

The Calgary Flames had a decent week last week. They went 2-1-1 to close a six-game road trip – a tie for their longest of the season. They finished off the road trip going 3-2-1. Earning seven points out of a possible 12 isn’t too bad and they managed to still finish the week off in a Pacific Division spot. However, the Western Conference is a very tight race right now and they could lose that spot tomorrow.

The Flames had players who impressed. Players who continue to impress, and players who rose up to the occasion last week. This sounds quite vague, but we’ll get into it in a minute here. Johnny Gaudreau is now tied for second in points among all skaters in the NHL.

The week before, he was four points back from second place and six points back from first place. Now he’s only two points back from first place and has potential to win the Art Ross trophy this season. Which sounds insane saying it out loud.

And while he’s been impressing, he’s not a star for last week (I’m sorry). He would make it every week if we could. But we need to also give other players a chance who are also worth mentioning too.

That’s enough rambling. Here is Flame for Thought’s three stars of the week for November 20-26.
