11/20/2008 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miikka Kiprusoff needed to make just 18 stops to post his second shutout of the season as the Calgary Flames edged the Colorado Avalanche, 1-0, at the Pepsi Center.
Daymond Langkow scored the only goal of the game on assists from Mike Giordano and Jarome Iginla for the Flames, who have won three of their last four games.
Kiprusoff's shutout was the 28th of his career with both of his zeroes this season coming against Colorado.
"Tonight was both teams playing really tight," said Kiprusoff. "This is how you want to win on the road. Their goaltender was really solid tonight, too."
Peter Budaj made 32 saves in the loss for the Avalanche, who have dropped their past two games after a three-game winning streak.
"It's not frustrating, but disappointing," said Budaj. "We did a great job penalty killing, but we're just not putting the puck into the net. I trust my players and I know we can score. They are just not going in right now, but I know that will change."
The only goal of the game came halfway through the second period. Giordano blasted a shot from inside the right circle that Budaj made a stop on, but the rebound kicked out front where Langkow buried it for his fifth goal of the year.
"I think the original shot was such a hard shot that it was hard for him to control the rebound," said Langkow. "I just jumped on it and got it past him."
Kiprusoff needed to stop just five shots in the second period to keep the shutout going.
The third period went quickly as Colorado was limited to just six shots in the frame.
The best chance came with under two minutes to play during a furious scrum in front as Kiprusoff was scrambling to keep the puck out of the net. The Avs threw several shots on net that either Kiprusoff or his surrounding defenseman stopped.
A scoreless first period saw Budaj make 10 saves while Kiprusoff stopped all seven shots he faced.
