“Mark is an NHL player and we are glad to have him back,” said Sutter. “He was a good player when he left to play in Russia and has improved playing against European players on the larger ice. He is a year older and year more mature.”

Giordano was originally signed by Calgary on July 6, 2004, and played 48 games with the Flames in 2006-07 scoring seven goals and adding nine assists with 89 penalty minutes.
The 6’0”, 203 lb rearguard was an AHL All-Star during his second professional season while playing for the Flames development club in Omaha.
