DID YOU KNOW?

• On January 11, 1985, Sevigny stopped nineteen shots as the Quebec Nordiques shut out the visiting Calgary Flames, 4-0. This broke Calgary's 264-game National Hockey League record streak of consecutive games without being shut out. Sevigny only got the start because Dan Bouchard was injured, and Mario Gosselin was out with the flu. "I consider myself lucky to play tonight," said Sevigny. "It's probably because Mario caught the flu from me."
