Is the real Johnny Gaudreau back? What history — and the numbers — tell us An elite Gaudreau makes the Flames a contender. An average Gaudreau isn't going to push them. So which one will Calgary see this season?

Absent from practice Dube is dealing with a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day after being held out of practice Wednesday.
Impact Dube -- who was injured in Monday's matchup with Vancouver -- will have some time to get back to 100 percent before the Flames game against the Leafs on Sunday. If the 22-year-old winger does miss any game time, it could see Dominik Simon jump back up to the first line. Prior to getting hurt, Dube has tallied one goal on six shots, one assist and four hits while averaging 10:13 of ice time.

First assist with Flames Leivo recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Impact Leivo began the game on a line with Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau, but the Flames struggled early. Leivo's helper was on a Mikael Backlund tally in the second period. The 27-year-old Leivo is versatile enough to play all around the lineup -- the Flames will likely rotate their right wings up and down throughout the year. With Dillon Dube (undisclosed) questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus Toronto, Leivo could remain in a top-six role.

Nabs helper Monday Lucic provided an assist, four PIM and two hits in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Impact Lucic had the primary helper on Mikael Backlund's go-ahead goal in the second period. Lucic also took a pair of minor penalties for tripping -- fantasy managers will appreciate the multi-category help. The helper was his first point through three contests, and he's added five hits while skating in a fourth-line role. The 32-year-old can help out in the physical categories, but his usage isn't likely to lead to much scoring, even with a role on the second power-play unit as a net-front presence.

Contributes pair of assists Monahan had two assists and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Impact Monahan's positive start to the year continued Monday, as he set up Johnny Gaudreau for the Flames' first goal. The 26-year-old Monahan also won a defensive-zone faceoff back to Rasmus Andersson, who flicked a long-range empty-netter to secure the win. Through three games, Monahan's up to a goal and three helpers. He and Gaudreau are in form to start the year -- that's good news for Flames fans and fantasy managers alike, as the duo can go on significant scoring streaks when they're hot.

Point streak at three games Andersson scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Impact Andersson didn't have any luck with a whopping 8:10 of power-play time Monday, as he hit a post with a blistering shot and had other close calls. However, that lucked flipped when he sealed the win with a long-range empty-netter in the third period, a shot that may have been a simple clearing attempt and beat a desperate Canucks pursuer by inches. The Swede has gotten on the scoresheet in all three games so far, with a goal and two helpers. The 24-year-old has added six blocked shots, and he seems to be adjusting to a larger role quite well in all facets of the game.

Tallies go-ahead goal Backlund scored a goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Impact Backlund gave the Flames a 2-1 lead with a goal at 13:30 of the second period, their second of three goals in the middle frame. The Swede has adjusted seamlessly to a third-line role after many seasons as the second-line center. Backlund has two points, six shots on goal and five hits through three contests.

Strikes on power play Giordano scored a power-play goal on a team-high six shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Impact Giordano wasn't afraid to uncork long-range shots throughout the game, and he got one to find twine at 6:40 of the third period. The 37-year-old blueliner has contributed two points, nine shots on net and four blocked shots in three appearances. He still sees top-pairing usage at even strength, but the Flames appear to want him skating closer to 21 minutes rather than the 23:53 he averaged last year. Most of that difference has seen Giordano operate on the second power-play unit.

Deposits power-play goal Lindholm scored a power-play goal on three shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Impact With the Flames on a 5-on-3 situation, Johnny Gaudreau set up Lindholm for the team's third tally in the dying seconds of the second period. It's another productive outing for Lindholm, who already has two goals and two helpers through three games in 2020-21. The Swede has added six shots on net and four hits while averaging nearly 22 minutes per game. His solid all-around production makes Lindholm nearly a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Two points in win Gaudreau scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Impact Gaudreau scored the game-tying goal in the second period, shooting through a Dominik Simon screen to beat Thatcher Demko. The 27-year-old Gaudreau added the assist in the dying seconds of the period, sending a cross-ice pass for Elias Lindholm to slam home. Gaudreau has posted four points (three on the power play) through three contests already this year -- he's in form and rewarding fantasy managers early on for their faith in his bounce-back potential.

Takes down Canucks again Markstrom made 25 saves on 27 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Impact While not as impressive as Saturday's shutout win, Markstrom can't be faulted for either of the goals against Monday. Both of the Canucks' scoring plays deflected in off of a Flames defenseman. Markstrom has his second win of the year under his belt, and he's allowed only six goals on 93 shots (.935 save percentage) in three contests so far. The Flames are off until Sunday versus the Maple Leafs -- Markstrom will have plenty of time to rest ahead of that game.

Injured Monday Dube (undisclosed) left Monday's contest against the Canucks and underwent further evaluation.
Impact It's unclear what happened to Dube but he was considered questionable to return Monday, so he may have avoided any serious injury. With the Flames not playing again until Jan. 24, the 22-year-old should have plenty of time to heal up.

Sent to minors Ritchie was demoted to AHL Stockton on Monday.
Impact Ritchie signed a two-way deal with Calgary on Sunday, so expect the 27-year-old forward to bounce between the majors and minors this season. He tallied six points in 27 NHL games with Boston in 2019-20.

Elevated from taxi squad Kylington was promoted from the taxi squad Monday.
Impact Kylington has been a healthy scratch for the Flames' first two games this season and should watch from the press box against Monday. Expect to see the 23-year-old blueliner jump between the active roster and taxi squad for most of the season.

Lifted from taxi squad Ryan was promoted from the taxi squad to the active roster Monday.
Impact Ryan suited up for both of Calgary's games this season, averaging just under 11 minutes of ice time per game. He should slide into the bottom-six for Monday's contest against Vancouver.
