ST. LOUIS — Miikka Kiprusoff shut out the St. Louis Blues for the second time in three days and Jarome Iginla had two goals and an assist in the Calgary Flames’ 6-0 victory on Tuesday night.
Iginla’s line totaled nine points, with Alex Tanguay getting a goal and two assists and Brendan Morrison adding three assists. The Flames finished 3-0 against the Blues, outscoring them 11-1, and have won eight of the last 10 in St. Louis.
Making his 17th consecutive start, Kiprusoff stood out against a team that hadn’t been blanked in an NHL-high 110 games before losing 1-0 Sunday night in Calgary. Kiprusoff stopped 25 shots for his sixth shutout of this season and 40th of his career, and hasn’t allowed the Blues to score in 132 minutes and 11 seconds.
Calgary led 1-0 after two periods on Tanguay’s 17th of the season off Iginla’s strip of defenseman Barret Jackman behind the St. Louis net in the first period. The Flames busted loose in the third against 23-year-old goalie Ben Bishop, making his third straight start in place of the injured Jaroslav Halak.
Iginla scored his 26th on a 2-on-1 break with Morrison early in the period and got his 27th midway through the period. David Moss and Robyn Regehr added power-play goals against Bishop, who had stopped 58-of-59 shots his previous two starts and was in goal in Sunday’s 1-0 loss.
Niklas Hagman made it a five-goal third period with 4.8 seconds to go.
