Calgary, AB (Sports Network) - Stymied late in regulation, Jarome Iginla made
good on his opportunity in the shootout, netting the decisive goal to lift the
Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks at the Saddledome.
Iginla was robbed by the glove of Roberto Luongo on a breakaway with 2:06
remaining in the third period, but the Calgary captain converted in the third
round of the penalty-shot tiebreaker, scoring on a backhand-forehand deke.
Miikka Kiprusoff, who made 29 saves, turned away Mason Raymond's bid to assure
the extra point for the Flames.
Calgary notched its first home win over Vancouver since October 16, 2009. The
Flames had dropped five straight at home to their Northwest Division rivals.
