Matt Stajan scored the other marker for the Flames and Miikka Kiprusoff made 27 saves in the win. "It's something I'll never forget," said Glencross after the game. "It's nice to get that feeling again." Calgary is 28-21-8 in NHL odds on the season, 8-2 when playing on Friday, 5-5-2 after playing the Hurricanes but have a horrible road record going 1-5 straight up in their last 6 road games.
