Flames battle Stars in Big D
Hockey Betting Lines
02/16/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Flames have been racking up points so far in February
and their latest convincing victory has them within a point of a playoff spot.
Calgary puts a six-game point streak on the line this evening against the
Dallas Stars.
The Flames are 4-0-2 this month and now sit second in the Northwest Division
with 62 points. That still has them 16 points out of first place but only one
back of eighth place Phoenix in the Western Conference standings.
Calgary rode a 41-save effort by Miikka Kiprusoff to a 5-1 win over visiting
Toronto on Tuesday. The Flames goaltender notched the 302nd win of his career
and is 9-3-2 in his past 14 starts.
"When you're in a dogfight like this and you're scratching and clawing for
every point, it's nice to have Kipper," Flames head coach Brent Sutter said of
his goaltender.
Calgary's top line of Olli Jokinen, Alex Tanguay and captain Jarome Iginla
combined for seven points, with Tanguay leading the way with a goal and two
assists. Jokinen scored and assisted on another to give him 13 points in his
last 10 games, while Paul Byron scored on a penalty shot.
The Stars would love to swap places with the Flames. Dallas has lost three
straight and 10 of its past 14 and sits three points behind Calgary in the
standings.
The Stars became the latest victim of the Red Wings' record-breaking home win
streak as they dropped a 3-1 decision in Detroit on Tuesday. It marked the
21st win in a row at home by the Red Wings, breaking the mark set by the
1929-30 Boston Bruins and later matched by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1975-76.
Dallas was nearly shut out on the milestone night before Adam Burish scored
with 32.8 seconds left. Kari Lehtonen made 34 saves.
"Sometimes you have to tip your cap to the other guys and tonight I'm tipping
my cap to Detroit," said Burish, who ended a 10-game point drought. "They're
pretty darn good, but I would have liked to be the team to snap it."
The Stars and Flames are meeting for the first time this season after Calgary
swept the four-game set last year. The Flames won both of their trips to
Dallas in a shootout.
These clubs will play each other three more times next month, including a
home-and-home set on March 24 and 26.
