New York (10-6-1) at Calgary (9-4-1), 10:00 p.m. EDT

Back-to-back overtime wins have the Calgary Flames feeling good
about themselves, while the New York Rangers believe their
latest victory helped them avoid the wrath of their coach.

The Flames return home in search of a third straight win
Saturday night when they face the Rangers, who hope to have
starting goaltender Henrik Lundqvist available.

Calgary (9-4-1) lost the final two games of a five-game
homestand Oct. 16-31 and had three days off to prepare for
back-to-back road games. The Flames got back on track with a 3-2
victory Wednesday at Dallas and a 2-1 win Thursday at St. Louis.

"To be able to get two of them in a row, in overtime like this,
it's a great feeling," star winger Jarome Iginla said. "It's
good for momentum."

Three of the Flames' nine wins have come in overtime. They beat
Edmonton 4-3 in a shootout on Oct. 8.

"A good road trip for us," goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff said. "To
come out with four points, that's huge. To win these close
games, it's nice."

New York (10-6-1) is hoping to finish with a winning road trip
after defeating Edmonton 5-3 on Thursday. The Rangers opened the
trip with a 4-1 loss at Vancouver on Tuesday, and had scored
five goals in losing three of four before Thursday.

"We needed a win of any kind period, not just a road win,"
Rangers backup goaltender Steve Valiquette said. "Just like
Edmonton, we have been reeling a little bit and we knew this
game was an opportunity to perhaps turn things around.

"We would have been in deep trouble with (coach John Tortorella)
if we had recorded another loss here."

The Rangers got power-play goals from Marian Gaborik,  Ryan
Callahan and Ales Kotalik and their penalty kill unit - which is
among the best in the NHL - stopped all four power-play chances
for the Oilers.

"I think the last two or three games that the effort has been
there, we just found a way to score some goals tonight,"
Tortorella said. "Getting three on the power play really
helped."

New York is hopeful that Lundqvist will be back after Valiquette
started Thursday and made 26 saves. Lundqvist, 8-5-1 with a 2.52
goals-against average, sat out with a stiff right thigh.

The Rangers also ended a four-game road slide. They have won two
of their last three games at Calgary, but lost 4-3 on Jan. 2,
2008, in their first visit in more than five years.

Iginla had a strong road trip for Calgary with three goals and
one assist. He has eight goals and three assists in his last
seven games against the Rangers.

Calgary defenseman Robyn Regehr had a six-game assist streak
snapped in Thursday's win. Regehr has eight points to match his
total from 75 games last season.
