COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jarome Iginla scored Calgary’s only goal in regulation and then had the only score in the shootout to give the Flames a 2-1 victory over Columbus on Tuesday night and extend the Blue Jackets’ losing streak to six games.
Iginla, who scored in the third period to tie it 1-1, went first for the Flames in the shootout after Mark Letestu failed to score. The perennial all-star faked once, then twice, to get Steve Mason down on the ice and then slipped the puck past him on the stick side.
Miikka Kiprusoff, who had 27 saves through overtime, then denied Rick Nash with a poke-check before James Wisniewski’s wrister clanged off the right post.
Derick Brassard scored for the Blue Jackets in the second period.
