CALGARY (AP) — Jarome Iginla scored on a penalty early in the second period to become the 10th NHL player to reach 30 goals in 10 straight seasons, helping the streaking Calgary Flames beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 on Sunday night.
Mike Gartner and Jaromir Jagr share the record with 15 consecutive 30-goal seasons. The 33-year-old Iginla has 471 NHL goals, two behind Denis Savard and Alex Mogilny for 49th on the career list.
Iginla was awarded the penalty shot when he was tugged from behind by Sergei Kostitsyn on a breakaway on Pekka Rinne. On the penalty shot, Iginla slid the puck through Rinne’s legs to tie it at 2.
Curtis Glencross broke the tie midway through the third period.
Mark Giordano had a power-play goal in the first and Olli Jokinen had two assists for the Flames, fifth in the Western Conference after going 15-3-3 in their last 21 games. Miikka Kiprusoff made 21 saves.
Martin Erat and Ryan Suter scored in the first for Nashville, tied for ninth in the West.
