CALGARY, Alberta — Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis each had two goals and an assist, and Mark Recchi had five assists to help the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Calgary Flames 8-6 on Sunday night.
Calgary captain Jarome Iginla had two goals and three assists to move into the top spot on the Flames’ career scoring list. Iginla’s second goal of the game, 14 seconds into the third period, was his 400th.
Iginla has 834 points in 922 career games, all with the Flames. He broke the franchise record of 830 set by Theo Fleury in 791 games. The two were teammates for three seasons before Fleury was traded to Colorado in the 1998-99 season.
Evgeny Artyukhin, Steven Stamkos, Ryan Malone and Vaclav Propsal also scored for Tampa Bay. The Lightning snapped a seven-game road losing streak.
Craig Conroy, Mike Cammalleri, Jamie Lundmark and Todd Bertuzzi scored for Calgary, set to open a seven-game trip on Tuesday night in Ottawa.
Notes: Calgary rookie RW Brandon Prust (concussion) is back on the
sidelines. After missing 31 games because of a broken jaw, Prust was reinjured Friday night in his fourth game back when he was elbowed by Minnesota’s Derek Boogard. Boogard was suspended for five games. … Warren Peters was recalled from Quad Cities (AHL) to take Prust’s spot. St. Louis and Lecavalier are the lone remaining members of the Lightning team that beat the Flames in the 2004 Stanley Cup final. The Flames have six players remaining.
