DETROIT, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Jarome Iginla scored a power-play goal and added two assists Wednesday night as the Calgary Flames held on for a 4-2 victory that ended the Detroit Red Wings' 19-game regular-season home unbeaten streak.
Calgary scored just two power-play goals in its first three games, but struck three times with the extra man to spoil the Red Wings' home opener. Detroit had been 17
2 in the regular season at Joe Louis Arena since last Dec. 27.
Dean McAmmond got the Flames' first power-play goal midway through the second period to forge a 1-1 tie. During a two-man advantage, he flipped a rebound over a sprawled Dominik Hasek after the goaltender stopped Iginla's deflection and a shot by defenseman Derek Morris.
With 4:34 left in the period and Detroit's Brett Hull in the penalty box for tripping, Hasek made a chest stop on Rob Niedermayer's shot. But the puck glanced off the knee of 27-year-old rookie Scott Nichol and into the net to put Calgary ahead for good.
It was Nichol's first NHL goal.
A blocked shot squirted to Flames defenseman Igor Kravchuk, who beat an out-of-position Hasek 3:50 into the third period to extend the lead to 3-1.
Brendan Shanahan answered for the Red Wings, but Iginla capped his three-point night with 6:19 left by finishing off a two on one with Craig Conroy.
Hasek made 29 saves, but suffered his first loss for Detroit, which opened the season with a pair of road wins.
