Jarome Iginla and Daymond Langkow will be in the spotlight prior to Thursday’s Flame-Dallas clash as they are honored by the Flames for playing their 1000th NHL games last week in Florida on consecutive nights.

   The Flame plan was to salute both veteran forwards on separate evenings, but Iginla and Langkow wanted a joint ceremony.

   …And it makes sense.  Both players played in the Western Hockey League. They were both drafted in the first round of the 1995 and both have been Flames teammates now for oiver 4-and-half years.

  After the celebration is over and the commerative 1000-game silver sticks put away, Flames coach Brent Sutter has a couple of numbers he wants.

  The coach needs 100-for-60 from all of his players against the Stars.  Translated that 100% for 60 minutes.  Coach Sutter feels if he gets that tonight his team will be on the winning side.

  The Flames final game before the Olympic Break is Saturday at home against Anaheim.  A pair of wins over the Stars and Ducks would assure Sutter’s crew of a playoff position for the 2-week respite.
