ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- Miikka Kiprusoff and the Calgary Flames arelooking to continue their dominance of the St. Louis Blues onSunday night.


Kiprusoff will hope to lead the Flames to their eighthconsecutive victory over the Blues.


St. Louis has not defeated Calgary since a 3-2 shootout win onJanuary 30, 2006. The Blues also have not beaten the Flames inregulation since February 5, 2005.


A major reason for that is Kiprusoff, who owns a 7-2-1 recordwith a 2.27 goals-against average and a shutout in his careeragainst the Blues.


The 31-year-old Finn has not looked like the same goaltenderthis season, though. Kiprusoff has started each of the Flames'23 games, posting a 2.92 GAA and .887 save percentage.

Kiprusoff also will not be facing the same offense that theBlues have sent out the past two seasons. Paul Kariya, St.Louis' prize offseason acquisition, leads the club with 16assists and 22 points.


Kariya has helped his linemate Brad Boyes get off to a greatstart as he looks to be having a career year. Boyes leads theBlues with 12 tallies on the season.


The Flames, to no surprise, have been led by Jarome Iginla. The10-year veteran has 13 goals and 30 points this season.
