This is Gaudreau's second child now, and at a healthy weight, this is great news for the now family of four. The family's first son bears the name of this 30-year-old left-winger, and fans are already making bets on this kid's future in the NHL.

"In 20 years we will see Tij Iginla pass the #Flames torch to Johnny Gaudreau Jr, signaling the start of a new era of Flames hockey."
