McInnis had six goals - including a hat trick against the Kings - in his first nine games. He went through a 12-game stretch (Nov. 19 to Dec. 15) without a goal before busting loose with goals in three consecutive games. McInnis entered Friday without a goal in his last six games. McInnis scored his 13th and 14th goals within 4:15 of each other in the first period, with defenseman Oleg Tverdovsky assisting on both. McInnis' second goal, with 4:33 left, gave Anaheim a 2-1 lead. It also marked the 400th NHL assist for Teemu Selanne. Selanne picked up two goals to stay with McInnis for the team lead. Selanne tied the game at 4-4 with 8:06 left in regulation when his back- hander slid past Calgary goalie Fred Brathwaite. Selanne had his first multigoal and three-point game this season. He now has 74 multiple-goal games. Selanne's first goal, which tied it 3-3 midway through the second period, gave Anaheim a club-record four consecutive power-play conversions. The team also scored on its final power-play chance against Florida on Wednesday. Calgary scored a pair of first period goals (Jarome Iginla and Dave Lowry) after Anaheim goalie Guy Hebert let rebounds squirt loose in front of the net. The Flames, who were 8-2-1-0 in their last 11 games entering Friday, took a 4-3 lead 41 seconds into the third period when Lowry scored his second goal of the game. |
