Iginla's OT goal lifts Flames past Stars
Jarome Iginla scored on a power play at 1:25 of overtime to give the Calgary Flames a 3-2 comeback victory over the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night.
The Associated Press
Jarome Iginla scored on a power play at 1:25 of overtime to give the Calgary Flames a 3-2 comeback victory over the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night.
Daymond Langkow tied it for the Flames with 49 seconds left in regulation and goalie Curtis McElhinney on the bench for an extra attacker. Iginla passed in front to Langkow, who backhanded the puck past Marty Turco.
Dallas drew a delay of game penalty at 1:06 of overtime, and the Flames needed only 19 seconds to capitalize when Iginla - who also scored in the second period - fired a shot from the left point that got past a screened Turco.
McElhinney, the backup to Miikka Kiprusoff, made 38 saves and stopped a second-period penalty shot in his second start of the season and 21st NHL game.
Turco, back after missing two games due to flu-like symptoms, stopped 19 shots.
Loui Eriksson gave Dallas a 2-1 lead at 8:52 of the third period, skating to the net and tapping in Brad Richards' centering pass.
Dallas' Brenden Morrow was awarded a penalty shot at 12:26 of the period after he was hooked to the ice on the way to the net by Calgary defenseman Mark Giordano, but Morrow's wrist shot was easily steered aside by McElhinney to keep the game scoreless.
Iginla put the Flames in front at 15:53 of the second period with a wrist shot from the right circle.
McElhinney had a strong second period, stopping all 16 shots he faced.
Dallas' James Neal tied it 1 at 4:49 of the third period.
The Stars had forwards Mike Modano and Jere Lehtinen back in the lineup after each missed extensive time with injuries. Modano, the career scoring leader among U.S.-born players, sat out 13 games because of a rib injury, and Lehtinen was out for nine games with abdominal soreness.
NOTES: Each of McElhinney's starts this season have come against Dallas. The Stars were 5-2 winners at Calgary on Oct. 9 in the first meeting between the teams. ... Dallas has gone to overtime seven times, winning one. ... Stars D Karlis Skrastins had two assists. ... Both teams had been off since Saturday night. ... Calgary D Jay Bouwmeester played in his 355th consecutive game, the league's longest active streak. Bouwmeester assisted on Iginla's winner.
