The Calgary Flames scored in the last two minutes of regulation off of a big rebound off of the backboards and a boucing puck that was alertly slapped in the goal by Dustin Boyd past Dallas Stars goalie Marty Turco for a 3 - 2 lead.  Then Alex Tanguay added an empty net goal during the final minute to finish off a 4 - 2 victory tonight in Calgary at the Pengrowth Saddledome.  It was the first NHL goal for Boyd. 

Jere Lehtinen scored for the Dallas Stars on a slap shot to tie Byron Ritchie and the Calgary Flames at 2 in the second period.  Lehtinen scored off of a perfect feed from Loui Eriksson as Eriksson picked up his second assist.  It was Lehtinen's 11th goal of the season.  Jere continues to play well.  He scored Thursday night and now has five goals and three assists in his last seven contests.  The Stars were perfect on the power play at this point with 2 goals on two power plays.

The Flames came out more aggressively in the second period than they had in the first and at 1:17 in the 2nd Ritchie scored his second goal to put the Flames ahead of the Stars 2 - 1 at that time.  Byron scored on a snap shot from 13 feet.

At 16:53 in the first Calgary tied the score at 1 apiece.  That goal was also scored by Ritchie.  He scored on a wrist shot from 22 feet.  It was his fifth goal of the season. 

Earlier at 9:09 Dallas had drawn first blood with a power play goal by Daryl Sydor who took the rebound after an 18 foot snap shot was missed by Philipe Boucher.  It was Sydors first goal in 33 games.  The Stars outshot the Flames 11 - 6 in the period and were more agressive than the Flames early in the game.  It was the 19th assist for Boucher.

Phillipe Boucher had scored for Dallas on Thursday and continues his recent strong play.  Boucher has two goals and five assists in his last nine games.

The Flames hosted Dallas without captain and leading scorer Jarome Iginla.  Iginla left in the second period of Thursday's game against the Florida Panthers with a sprained ligament in his left knee that stemmed from a scuffle with Panthers defenseman Bryan Allen.  Iginla, who leads the Flames with 23 goals and 30 assists, was retaliating for a hard hit on teammate Chuck Kobasew earlier in that game.  The right wing served a fighting major and did not appear hurt, but after he exited the penalty box, went to the Flames' dressing room and did not return.  Iginla will be sidelined for at least a week.

"There are different leaders and different warriors in this league and when you have a guy that's third or fourth in the league in scoring and he's stepping up and fighting for his team, that shows his character," Flames goaltender Jamie McLennan said.  Losing Iginla could affect the Flames' success at home.  He scored in the opening minutes of Thursday's game and has three goals and five assists over the last four games at the Pengrowth Saddledome.  Iginla has15 goals and 18 assists at home this season.  "It's tough to fill a guy's spot, a guy like Jarome." said defenseman Mark Giordano.
