THE NUMBERS GAME

Calgary — A look at the numbers from the Calgary Flames - Rangers game at the Pengrowth Saddledome on Saturday, Nov. 7.
Jarome Iginla scored the game winner in the 3-1 victory. Daymond Langkow and Rene Bourque also scored for the Flames.
250 - Career goals for Langkow. The veteran centerman potted his fifth of the year in the first period, earning him that milestone. In six seasons with the Flames, Langkow has tallied 164 goals and 259 points. In 2006-07, during his second season as a Flame, he scored a career-high 33 goals.

4 - Number of games Calgary has given up 30 or more shots on net. They are 3-1-0 in that span.

3 - Number of hits Dion Phaneuf, Eric Nystrom and Dustin Boyd shelled out in 60 minutes.
100 - Percentage in faceoff wins for Iginla. Overall, the team won 62 per cent of all draws.
