HD’s Gut Feeling
Kiprusoff has reigned over the Kings in his career, turning aside all 28 shots in a 1-0 win on Feb. 18 to run his record to 19-8-3. We REALLY need Kipper to continue that trend. With both teams sitting so close to 8th this game goes a long way to determining the post season picture. Throw all clichés out the window.4-1 Flames – Iginla, Cammalleri (X2) & Giordano
