There will be a festive atmosphere at the Saddledome on March 2, 2024. Not only will the Calgary Flames host Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins, but the Flames organization will pay tribute to legendary netminder Miikka Kiprusoff when they retire his number 34 in a pre-game ceremony.

When he’s hit the ice, he’s usually played the wing, joking that he’s not a big fan of playing goalie when a game doesn’t matter.
