The Flames were up 5-3 in the 3rd period when they salted the game away on a spectacular goal from Fredrik Sjostrom.
The off-season acquisition took a pass behind his back, pulled the puck up to his forehand and, despite being hooked off balance on his breakaway, spun around and curled the puck inside the far post from a sharp angle for his first goal as a Flame.
"That was one of my better ones," said Sjostrom. "It was just a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing. I was really excited to see that one go in, I've been waiting a long time."
The goal was the talk of the Flames dressing room after the game.
"That was sick, heh?
That was probably one of the best goals of the year so far," Iginla said.
