As Jarome Iginla goes, so goes Calgary. And the Flames captain is red-hot right now.

Iginla scored twice as the hometown Flames blanked the Minnesota Wild 3-0 before their fifth straight sellout crowd of 19,289 at the Pengrowth Saddledome.

It marked Calgary's first triumph in four games and second in six.

"Winning at home and scoring, it always feels good," Iginla said.

Rookie Dion Phaneuf had a goal and an assist in support of Miikka Kiprusoff, who stopped 23 shots for his second shutout this season and ninth overall.

Daymond Langkow added two assists for the Flames (5-7-2).

"Everyone played really well as a whole," Phaneuf said. "But when you get goaltending from Kipper like that, it's a positive."

Manny Fernandez also faced 23 shots for the Wild (6-5-2).

"It was a frustrating one for us," he said. "They got a goal in the first and we had a couple good shots after that, but we needed a goal to refuel our tanks and it just never came."

Phaneuf put the Flames ahead 1-0 with a power-play goal, his third of the season, with 40 seconds left in the opening period.

"It was a big boost," Iginla said.

Less than five minutes into the third period, Iginla won a faceoff back to Phaneuf and tipped the rookie's shot for his sixth goal of the season to make it 2-0 and extend his points streak to seven games (five goals, three assists).

He later completed the scoring into an empty net with 23 seconds remaining.

"Our special teams are getting better and we still want to keep moving in both categories," Iginla said. "We're moving the puck and doing the things we want to do."
