Miikka Kiprusoff's big night put the Calgary Flames back in the thick of the playoff race. Kiprusoff stopped 34 shots, Alex Tanguay had a goal and an assist, and the Flames boosted their postseason chances with a 2-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday night. "Right now we're going to need the gods on our side to make the playoffs," Tanguay said. "We're hanging onto our slim chances. If we go out and lose a game we're out." Olli Jokinen also scored, and the Flames moved to within one point of eighth-place Chicago and two points of Anaheim, which both lost Sunday night. The Blackhawks have played two fewer games than Calgary and one fewer than the Ducks. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=310403017
