THE NUMBERS GAME

ST. LOUIS — A look at the numbers from the Calgary Flames-St. Louis Blues game at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis Thursday.
Dion Phaneuf scored in overtime to give the Flames a 2-1 win, their second straight extra-period win in as many nights.
Jarome Iginla also scored for the Flames.
1 - Number of NHL goals for Blues Lars Eller, one of the few Danish hockey players in the league. He scored his first in the third period to tie the game 1-1 and end a St. Louis scoreless streak that had stretched more than eight periods or about 171 minutes and five seconds.
3 - Number of goals for Flames captain Jarome Iginla in the past two games which coincides with his coach calling on him to be much better. Iginla had two goals against Dallas Wednesday and a first period tally against the Blues Thursday.
4 - Number of shots on goal for Jarome Iginla and Dion Phaneuf
5 - Number of seasons current Flame forward Craig Conroy and current Flames assistant coach Dave Lowry played for St. Louis in their NHL careers. Fellow Flames assistant coach Jamie McLennan spent four seasons with the Blues.
6 - Blocked shots for Flames defenceman Jay Bouwmeester.
12 - Number of overtime goals for Olli Jokinen, second among active NHL players. Jokinen had an end-to-end rush but Chris Mason made a nice glove save.
14 - Number of career wins for Miikka Kiprusoff against the Blues. He is now 14-3-0-1
21 - Total of the shots blocked by the Flames.
