CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- On a night when Jarome Iginla madeCalgary Flames history, the defending Stanley Cup championAnaheim Ducks made sure they were the ones doing thecelebrating.


Corey Perry scored his 13th goal of the season and Ryan Getzlafand defenseman Chris Pronger each had two assists as the Ducksearned a hard-fought 4-1 victory over the Flames on Thursday.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 38 shots and benefited from somephysical defensive play by Anaheim, which snapped a two-gameroad losing streak.


Iginla passed Hall of Famer Al MacInnis by appearing in his804th game in a Flames uniform and got his team off to a goodstart with an assist on Alex Tanguay's power-play goal 3:08 intothe first period.


With Pronger off the ice due to an interference penalty, Iginlacame down the wing and slid the puck across to Tanguay in frontof the crease. The 28-year-old left wing moved to the side ofthe net and slipped a wrist shot past Giguere for his seventh ofthe season and a 1-0 lead.


Iginla, who is tied for second in the NHL with 34 points, is inhis 11th season with Calgary.


In a game that saw four men sent to the penalty box withfighting majors, the first person to hit the ice was officialThor Nelson, who was struck with the puck and forced a lengthydelay until it was determined he would remain in the contest.

Then, at 18:06 of the first period, Flames center Craig Conroyleft for the locker room after being hit with Perry's stick. AsPerry was being pushed around in the front of the net, hisstick was up high and caught Conroy in the head, opening up acut that required stitches.


Anaheim was in the process of taking control of the game by thetime Conroy left, as Todd Marchant had answered Tanguay's tallywith a goal at 5:53 of the first.


Veteran right wing Todd Bertuzzi dished the puck into the creasefrom behind the net, and Marchant sent a wrister past netminderMiikka Kiprusoff to tie the game at 1-1.


Getzlaf put on a stickhandling clinic to put the Ducks ahead,skating around three Calgary defenders before sliding the puckover to Chris Kunitz on the other side of the crease for a goalthat put the Ducks ahead, 2-1, with 41 seconds remaining in theopening session.


Perry took advantage of a tripping penalty four minutes into thesecond, slowly trickling a shot behind Kiprusoff that slid overthe goal line. The play was reviewed for nearly three minutes,but the tally stood.


Former Flame Rob Niedermayer added a shorthanded empty-netterwith 4:02 left in the game to provide the final margin.

CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- On a night when Jarome Iginla madeCalgary Flames history, the defending Stanley Cup championAnaheim Ducks made sure they were the ones doing thecelebrating.


Corey Perry scored his 13th goal of the season and Ryan Getzlafand defenseman Chris Pronger each had two assists as the Ducksearned a hard-fought 4-1 victory over the Flames on Thursday.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 38 shots and benefited from somephysical defensive play by Anaheim, which snapped a two-gameroad losing streak.


"We got the puck in the areas where we needed to score goals,"Pronger said.


"We found a way to win a good game on the road," Giguere added."We needed to bounce back after Vancouver (on Tuesday). Wekilled some big penalties. It wasn't always pretty, but at theend of the day, when you get the win on the road, that's all youwant."


Iginla passed Hall of Famer Al MacInnis by appearing in his804th game in a Flames uniform and got his team off to a goodstart with an assist on Alex Tanguay's power-play goal 3:08 intothe first period.


"We've got to win games now," said Iginla, who did not want totalk about his individual accomplishments after the game. "It'scritical times. We're three games under .500 now. We'replaying teams that we have to catch in the playoff (race). Wehave to find ways to win, and we have to do it now.

"It's not just about shots. We're getting our shots. It'senough talking about other goalies stopping us. We're notmaking it hard enough on them."


With Pronger off the ice due to an interference penalty, Iginlacame down the wing and slid the puck across to Tanguay in frontof the crease. The 28-year-old left wing moved to the side ofthe net and slipped a wrist shot past Giguere for his seventh ofthe season and a 1-0 lead.


Iginla, who is tied for second in the NHL with 34 points, is inhis 11th season with Calgary.


In a game that saw four men sent to the penalty box withfighting majors, the first person to hit the ice was officialThor Nelson, who was struck with the puck and forced a lengthydelay until it was determined he would remain in the contest.

"You're just seeing the talent that he has now," Pronger said ofGetzlaf, who signed a five-year contract extension last week."He's a tremendous player."


Perry took advantage of a tripping penalty four minutes into thesecond, slowly trickling a shot behind Kiprusoff that slid overthe goal line. The play was reviewed for nearly three minutes,but the tally stood.


"A goal's a goal," Bertuzzi said. "We'll take it any way wecan."


Former Flame Rob Niedermayer added a shorthanded empty-netterwith 4:02 left in the game to provide the final margin.Kiprusoff turned aside 22 shots for Calgary, which has lostthree straight and four of five.


"We work in practice and we do it, and then we don't execute,"Conroy said. "We come out tonight and get the first goal. Weshould build on that. I don't know, we just sit back and watchsomehow. We work hard, but working hard doesn't win games. Wecan't afford to go any lower."
