Summary
Mikael Backlund is on the brink of becoming Calgary’s all-time games leader, poised to break Jarome Iginla’s record within a whirlwind March week—tying it March 13 in Boston, then shattering it March 15 at home against Nashville. His 38th birthday falls just two days later, with Dallas visiting for a milestone celebration. A steady two-way force since his 2007 draft, he’s earned Selke votes, ranks atop Flames’ all-time stats, and recently locked in through 2028 as captain—a career arc that defies early doubters and redefines loyalty.
