Kent Nilsson joined the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1979 as a member of the Atlanta Flames. The following year the team relocated to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, while Nilsson went on to enjoy one of the most productive offensive seasons in franchise history. In his first season with the team, he improved his 40 goal total from the 1979-1980 season to 49 goals in 1980-1981. Only eight players scored more goals that year. Nilsson would eclipse the 40 goal mark just once over the following nine seasons, with 49 remaining as his career best.
Nilsson’s offensive contributions were not limited to scoring, as he connected on 53 assists in his rookie season, yet managed to improve his passing to 82 assists for his sophomore effort. He placed second as the league’s assist man that year, trailing only Wayne Gretzky. Nilsson’s 82 assists in 1980-1981 have stood as a Calgary Flames record for 35 years. His 62 assists in 1984-1985 rank seventh on the franchise’s all time assist list.
