Johnny Gaudreau pokes fun at himself after taking down Sean Durzi

Johnny Gaudreau had a heck of a game for the Calgary Flames Monday night. He scored two goals, including the game winner, and added in assist in a 3-2 win over the LA Kings. Despite his offensive performance, after the game he was asked about an incident where there was a bit of a scrum around the Kings' net. Gaudreau skated in, grabbed Sean Durzi around the neck and pulled him down.

Gaudreau is not a guy you often see involved in the rough stuff, and it seems he's aware of that. He took the opportunity to poke some fun at himself when asked about the incident after the game.

"I'm pretty strong, I think," said Gaudreau. "When the guy isn't looking, I'm pretty strong."

Gaudreau did end up getting a two-minute minor for roughing in the play. The 28-year-old is having an excellent season with 34 goals and 95 points in 69 games. He should have no issue surpassing his previous career high of 99 points set in 2018-19 season.
