HD’s Gut Feeling
The Flames snapped a four-game losing streak with the victory over the Wild. Their reward for the win? The Detroit Red Wings, at least they are playing the second of back-to-back games (losing in Vancouver last night). Iggy current stretch marks the first time this season that he has recorded points in four straight contests. He needs three goals to reach 500 for his career. Iginla will be gunning for all 3 tonight to get there at home as the Flames hit the road for seven straight gamnes after tonight. Iginla has 54 points – 20 goals – in 58 career games against the Red Wings. 5-2 Flames – Iginla (X3), Stempniak & Brodie
