Sean Monahan scored his 21st goal of his rookie campaign on Wednesday.
With that, Monahan scored the most markers of any Flames' rookie since Jarome Iginla also found the back of the net 21 times in 1996-97. Given what Iginla went on to accomplish in Calgary, reaching that mark means a lot to them. "It's pretty cool. Obviously, (Iginla) was a big part of this team and this franchise," Monahan said. "To be there, it's pretty special. It's an honor." It'd be wrong to compare him to Iginla at this stage of his career, but he does have potential. He's not a bad guy to take a chance on towards the end of fantasy drafts next season.
