Flames win 6th in a row

Flames 5 Wings 3

In the wake of being named GM of the week, Axmann's Flames go 6 in a row.

A good game for the Flames although being outshot, they still manage to preserve the win.

Jarome Iginla has extended his point scoring streak to 14 games, his shot count at 141 and is a +/- at 28. Jarome also had 3rd star in this game.

Flames now in 5th place overall are starting to bear down on the top 4 seeds and are only 4 pts out of fourth overall.

Oddest thing to happen in the game was Khabilbulin skating to the bench during a break in the action of the third period. At that time, Habby profusingly sweating told Arturs Irbe, "ya best get ready, son..I'm running out of steam here".

Habby will be given a rest over the next few games to let him recoup.

Newly acquired D Chris Chelios kept up his 3.3 PIM per game average by taking 16 minutes in penalties. The only thing that kept him out of Sutters doghouse in his first game, is that between himself and Stevens only a single goal was allowed during the six Wings PP advantages.

Flames fans were also cheering loudly as it was announced during the second period that fan favourite Krzysztof Oliwa had been reacquired by the Flames.
Chants of "Oliwa, Oliwa, Oliwa, " could be heard clearly throughout the Saddledome.

Next game up is the Wings again on Monday night.
