Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla scored twice and added an assist in Wednesday's win over the Stars. It was his second three-point game of the season, but his first multi-goal performance.	Analysis: Iginla had Olli Jokinen back on his line for this game, and the move clearly paid dividends. He also played with David Moss or Eric Nystrom on his wing instead of Curtis Glencross. You have to think the two highest-paid forward on the Flames might stick together for a while if this pace continues, but Iginla remains a must-start Fantasy option, no matter who he's on a line with.

News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla scored his fourth goal of the season on Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to the Avalanche. Iginla's goal came only 55 seconds into the contest, beating Craig Anderson on a wrist shot. He increased his points total on the year to nine with the tally.	Analysis: Iginla has only one multi-point game on the season and has gotten off to a lackluster start overall this season. Iginla went through extended slumps last season and has not gotten out of the game too impressively this season. He does however have a point in three straight and remains a must-start.

Iginla finally has multi-point night	Updated 10/21/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: The Calgary Flames have been getting contributions from just about everyone this season. It was finally captain Jarome Iginla's turn. Iginla broke out of an extended scoring slump with a goal and two assists in the Flames' 6-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Iginla played his second consecutive game on a line centered by Craig Conroy, and the reunited linemates combined to set up first-period goals by Curtis Glencross and Jay Bouwmeester as Calgary took a 3-1 lead. With the Flames leading 4-3 in the third period, Iginla scored at 12:46 by snapping a shot from the faceoff dot into the top corner past goalie Steve Mason. "I look at the shots and the quality scoring chances he had, and tonight was his best game," Flames coach Brent Sutter said.	Analysis: It was the first multipoint game of the season for Iginla, who had only four points in Calgary's first eight games. But the Flames (6-2-1) have been winning without his offense. "It's been a fun start," Iginla said. "It's still been a really enjoyable October. As a team, it feels like we have a lot of good things going and it feels like we can still get better." Iginla has sorted frustrated Fantasy owners since midseason last year with his extended scoring slumps, but the numbers still seem to pan out for the veteran forward in the end. Continue to start Iginla in all Fantasy formats despite his slow stary.

Iginla answers the critics with goal	Updated 10/7/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: The Sports Xchange reports Flames RW Jarome Iginla awoke to headlines Tuesday asking what's wrong with his game because he didn't score a goal in either of the first two games. Iginla's defensive game still needs a lot of work, but he tallied on the power play against the Canadiens to end his "slump." "I hope I never go two games again without scoring, but it may happen," he said. "It's fine. It's a compliment you guys feel that pressure to go, but it's a lot better, those questions when we're winning."	Analysis: Iginla has had to answer a lot of questions about his offensive game since he hit a midseason slump in 2008-09. Iginla still managed 30-plus goals for an eighth straight season, but he was a huge disappointment after totaling 50 goals in 2007-08. Iginla is still one of the best offensive players in the NHL and should get on a roll. Despite the slow start, Iginla remains a must-start Fantasy option.

Iginla gets goal and assist	Updated 4/7/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Calgary RW Jarome Iginla had a goal and an assist in Monday's game against the Kings. His scored goal was a game-winner in the second period on a slap shot with assists from Michael Cammalleri and Jordan Leopold.	Analysis: Iginla is up to 88 points on the season with 34 goals and 54 assists. He has a goal in three of his last four games as he continues to be a point per game player. He remains a must-start option for the remainder of the season.

Iginla taps in 32nd goal	Updated 3/31/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla scored his team's only goal during Monday's 2-1 loss against the Sharks. Iginla tied it with 4:51 left in the first period, taking a pass from Daymond Langkow at the face-off dot and snapping a shot that Evgeni Nabokov only got a portion of. It was his 32nd goal and first in seven games.	Analysis: Iginla hasn't been as efficient offensively at times in 2008-09, but he has still managed to post 85 points and appears well on his way to a third straight season of 90-plus points. Iginla skates with the likes of Olli Jokinen and Michael Cammalleri and remains a must-start Fantasy option.

Iginla has another multi-point game	Updated 3/5/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla tallied two assists and finished at plus-2 during Thursday's 5-1 win against the Flyers. He has four multi-point games during a six-game point streak. He has totaled seven goals and eight assists in that span.	Analysis: Iginla immediately clicked with new linemate Olli Jokinen Thursday and he is now part of one of the best lines in the NHL -- which includes Michael Cammalleri. Iginla has really started to pick up his offensive game after being in a lull for most of January and February. The thought of Jokinen stealing more of Iginla's scoring chances is a concern, but as long as Iginla is racking up points, he remains a must-start Fantasy option.

Iginla breaks record with big night	Updated 3/2/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis and the Tampa Bay Lightning spoiled Calgary star Jarome Iginla's milestone night. Lecavalier and St. Louis each had two goals and an assist, and Mark Recchi had five assists to help the Lightning beat the Flames 8-6 on Sunday night. 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. Iginla's milestone 831st point came when Craig Conroy deflected in Dion Phaneuf's shot after Iginla had started the sequence by getting the puck back to Phaneuf. "I was excited to get it at home. I wasn't too picky about it being a real nice one. It was cool to get it on Conroy's," Iginla said. "Unfortunately the night didn't go the way we wanted, we let it get away from us. Looking back on it down the road, it's still going to be a great night."	Analysis: Recchi acknowledged Iginla's feat with a friendly tap on the shinpads. "He's the face of the franchise. When you think of the Calgary Flames, you think of Jarome Iginla and it's great to see him get that opportunity and to do it at home is nice, too," Recchi said. "He's had a great career and he's an amazing player. To be the franchise leader, that's a great honor." Iginla has pretty much been a high-end Fantasy option for the last decade, but he was making Fantasy owners a little nervous from early January to mid-February when his scoring was down. Those fears likely can be put aside with the latest run Iginla has been on. He has six goals and seven assists in his last six games. That's serious production. Iginla and the Flames are in the thick of the playoff race, so continue to keep him active in all Fantasy formats as Calgary will need his scoring down the stretch.

Iginla moves up Flames scoring list	Updated 2/18/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla scored a goal and tallied an assist during Tuesday's game against the Canucks. He opened the scoring 9:51 into the first period with his 21st goal and added an assist in the third period giving him 823 career points (395 goals, 428 assists). It moved him past Al MacInnis (822) into second place on the Flames career scoring list. Theoren Fleury is on top with 830.	Analysis: Iginla had his first multi-point effort Tuesday in 10 games. Ever since the calendar year hit 2009, Iginla hasn't been his normal electric self. Calgary has found other sources of scoring, but they want and need Iginla to up his game. Fantasy owners would also like that since Iginla is usually a must-start Fantasy option.

Iginla's scoring slump continues	Updated 2/13/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Calgary captain Jarome Iginla's goal-scoring drought extended to six games Thursday against the Kings. He has just two goals in his last 18 games, but does have 12 assists in that span, including one Thursday against the Kings.	Analysis: Iginla began the season with six goals in each of the first three months, but since the calendar year hit 2009 he is floundering to put the puck in the back of the net. This is as bad of a scoring slump we have seen Iginla endure in years. We wish we knew when or how Iginla can break the curse, but at least he is keeping busy with the assists.

Iginla makes it to 20 goals	Updated 2/3/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla notched his 20th goal of the season during Monday's 4-3 loss to the Avalanche. Iginla continues to torment the Avalanche. With his wrist-shot goal 11:01 into the second period, he has 62 points in 71 career games against Colorado. It's the most of any NHL player against the Avalanche since they moved from Quebec.	Analysis: Iginla has scored just twice in his last 12 games, but has points in six of his last seven outings (two goals, seven assists). His scoring has been down since mid-December and that has allowed Michael Cammalleri to surpass him for the team lead. But Iginla is still making himself useful with assists and remains a must-start Fantasy option.

Iginla has two assists in game	Updated 1/28/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Calgary RW Jarome Iginla had two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres, helping Michael Cammalleri to a hat trick in the game. Iginla now has 57 points on the season with 20 goals and 37 assists.	Analysis: Iginla has had some problems scoring in the month of January but has kept up in the assists department. He remains a top option in Fantasy leagues and should be starting in all leagues through thick and thin.

Iginla breaks January scoring slump	Updated 1/22/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla had a goal and an assist during Wednesday's 5-4 shootout win against the Blue Jackets. Iginla tied the game at one 9:11 into the first period with his 19th goal. It was his first score in nine January games, but he does have six points (five assists) during a four-game point streak.	Analysis: Fantasy owners have been waiting a long time for Iginla to dent the twine in January. He has scored in just three games since Dec. 8 and hasn't been his usual reliable self. Iginla is still putting points on the board and remains productive in Fantasy, but just not as much as we are used to. Iginla still has the talent to be a high-end Fantasy option, so don't lose hope.

Iginla fights, nets two assists	Updated 1/18/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: The Sports Xchange reports Flames RW Jarome Iginla again failed to score -- he now has two goals in 13 games -- but did collect a pair of assists Saturday against the Coyotes. He also fought former Flames teammate David Hale, likely in an attempt to ignite his team from its slumber in the first period.	Analysis: Iginla has just 18 goals on the seaso, but fell behind teammate Michael Cammalleri for the team lead after Cammalleri scored twice Saturday. This is only significant since Iginla has led Calgary in goals since 2000-01 and usually by a large margin. The complexion of the Flames has changed somewhat since the offseason, but Iginla is still their best scorer and shoots at will. He could be looking at a huge second half, but 50 goals for a second straight season is unlikely.

Iginla scoreless in six games	Updated 1/16/2009
Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla tallied an assist and finished at minus-1 in 23:01 of ice time Thursday against the Sharks. Iginla failed to score on four shots and doesn't have a goal in six games since scoring twice on New Year's Eve.	Analysis: Iginla has just 18 goals on the season and leads teammates Michael Cammalleri by just one score. This is only significant since Iginla has led Calgary in goals since 2000-01 and usually by a large margin. The complexion of the Flames has changed somewhat since the offseason, but Iginla is still their best scorer and shoots at will. He could be looking at a huge second half, but 50 goals for a second straight season is unlikely.

Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Jarome Iginla and Michael Cammalleri closed out the year in style for the Calgary Flames. Iginla and Cammalleri each had two goals and three assists to lead Calgary to a 6-4 victory against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night. "We just congratulated ourselves on both of our firsts," Cammalleri said. "It was a lot of fun tonight for sure. I really enjoyed it and we are excited about the New Year." During his 12 seasons with the Flames, Iginla has had four points on 14 occasions, including twice this season. But he had never reached five points until he had an assist on Cammalleri's empty-net goal in the third. "It feels good," Iginla said. "It was a good way to end the year (with) a team effort and to beat the Oilers also for the first time this year."	Analysis: Iginla now has 45 points on the season for the Flames and has eight points (two goals and six assists) in his last five games. Start the 12-year veteran winger through thick and thin.

Start the 12-year veteran winger through thick and thin.

Jarome Iginla, RW CGY
News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla matched his career high with four points in a 6-3 win over the Blues on Tuesday night. Iginla had two goals and two assists.	Analysis: Iginla is now tied for fourth in the league with 37 points (16G, 21A), but wasn't shooting as much heading into Tuesday with two or fewer SOG in three of his last four. He put an end to that trend in the win over the Blues with six shots, and remains a must-start in all Fantasy formats, no matter how many shots he's producing.

News: Flames RW Jarome Iginla scored a goal and tallied an assist during Friday's 4-3 win against the Blues. The Flames overcame deficits of 2-0 in the first period and 3-1 in the third, before Michael Cammalleri's wrist shot off a pass from Iginla from the top of the right circle beat Chris Mason for the winning goal in overtime.

Bertuzzi and Langkow combined for the game-winning goal in Los Angeles the night before.	Analysis: Bourque has a lot to gain playing on the top line with Iginla, as does Conroy. However, they likely won't remain there for a long period of time, so both players remain low-end Fantasy options. As for Iginla, Langkow, Cammalleri and Bertuzzi, they are staples in the top six and remain viable Fantasy forwards.

As is usually the case, captain Jarome Iginla led the way and he did it with a hat trick. Iginla started Calgary's comeback at 14:04 of the second period with a one-timer from the right circle that beat Dan Ellis wide to his left side.

David Moss tied it at 3 at 8:05 with a shot from the edge of the crease. Iginla capped the comeback with an empty-net goal.	Analysis: The Flames shifted their first-line centers by putting Michael Cammalleri up Iginla and Todd Bertuzzi and dropped Daymond Langkow to the second line. It seemed to spark Iginla's game as he had just two goals in his first six outings. Iginla is always a threat to challenge for the league's goal-scoring title and remains a must-start Fantasy option.

News: Calgary Flames right wing Jarome Iginla, Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin and Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin are the three finalists for the Hart Trophy that is awarded to the NHL's most valuable player. The finalists were announced Tuesday by the NHL. The winner will be announced June 12 at the NHL awards ceremony in Toronto.	Analysis: Iginla, a Hart Trophy finalist for the third time, had 50 goals and 48 assists to rank third in the NHL in both categories. It was the second time he had reached the 50-goal mark, and the 98 points were a career best. Iginla fell two points shy of his first 100-point season, but now has 90-plus points in two straight campaigns and three times in his career. It's hard to believe that Iginla has been in the league for 11 seasons, and some might believe he could be on the down swing of his career, but that's not necessarily true. Mats Sundin continues to play at a high level after many years in the NHL, so it is possible for a player like Iginla to sustain his torrid pace. We like Iginla as a top Fantasy forward heading into the 2008-09 season.

"He had me out there every second shift. It was sure nice to see it go in, the guys were trying all night to set me up. They were very generous."	Analysis: Iginla fell two points shy of his first 100-point season, but now has 90-plus points in two straight campaigns and three times in his career.

The Flames captain tied it 2-2 with 23 seconds left in the second period, put the Flames ahead 50 seconds into the third, and scored his 48th of the season at 6:47. "A high-scoring game like that is a little out of the ordinary, but at this time of year, any style of game, you have to win it," Iginla said. "These are playoff-style games. We want to keep rolling and feeding off of these games, they're big momentum boosts."	Analysis: After struggling in January and February, Iginla has picked up the pace in March as the Flames get ready for a run at the Stanley Cup. He has 10 goals and five assists in 10 games this month to get over the 90-point mark for the second straight season. He is smoking hot right now and should be starting in every Fantasy format.

It is probably a good idea to bench Iginla for the upcoming scoring period (Jan. 8-14). When healthy, he is a must-start Fantasy option.
