Mark Giordano may as well be guzzling from the fountain of youth.

The Calgary Flames' captain scored the game-winning goal in his team's Wednesday night win over the New Jersey Devils, earning his 60th point of the season in the process.

With the tally, Giordano became the fourth defenseman in NHL history to record at least 60 points in a season at age 35 or older, reports Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960, citing NHL Public Relations.

Giordano joins Nicklas Lidstrom, Al MacInnis, and Sergei Zubov as the only blue-liners to reach the milestone. Lidstrom and MacInnis - who accomplished the feat four times and two times, respectively - are both enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Giordano's game-winner propelled the Flames to a season-best seventh straight victory. He has 14 goals and 46 assists on the year.
