Flames still searching for first win in Anaheim since 2004

"The Calgary Flames are heading to Anaheim? That means it's time to comb the archives.

Although, really, only a slight adjustment to the compiled data is required. Because the date of the Flames' most recent victory in Anaheim has not changed — it remains Jan. 19, 2004.

Only the pile of losses needs to be updated — 13 consecutive now (the last six by one goal).

"We go in with the mindset that we're due to win in there, right?" Jarome Iginla said of Monday's date at the Honda Center — the starting point of a three-game junket through the Pacific Division. "As far as guys thinking, 'Oh, we haven't won there in forever.' That's not (true, except) for a few of us, you know what I mean? Other guys have only played three, two games in there (as members of the Flames)."

Iginla has a point.

The night the Flames did prevail — 5-1 over the Mike Babcock-coached Quackers — both goalie Miikka Kiprusoff and Iginla were on the sidelines due to injury.

In fact, from that contest, from that last whiff of success, there are zero players — from either side — who'll be suiting up Monday night."
