The Calgary Flames issued an update on the status of injured defenseman Mark Giordano on Thursday. While it is not necessarily great news, it is at least better than it was initially feared.

That includes Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators and Saturday's game against the first place Vancouver Canucks. The Flames enter play on Thursday in the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference but are just two points ahead of the Chicago Blackhawks.
They only have a three-point cushion over Nashville, while the Predators still have two games in hand. That makes Thursday's game absolutely massive in the playoff race.
Giordano's offensive numbers have declined this season, but he remains the Flames' most impactful defensive player.
