Iginla records Gordie Howe hat trick in potential final game in Calgary
Jarome Iginla made what could be his final game in Calgary one to remember.
The 39-year-old Los Angeles Kings forward picked up a goal, an assist, and a fight - otherwise known as a "Gordie Howe hat trick" - in a 4-1 defeat of the Flames.
Here's how it all went down:
Iginla got things started by dropping the gloves with Flames heavyweight Deryk Engelland. The veteran reigned victorious, leaving Engelland with a nice gash over his eye.
He got lucky late in the second period, as Mark Giordano helped push the puck into his own net.
Finally, he picked up an assist on Jeff Carter's 32nd goal of the season.

While it may have been Iginla's last game in Calgary, the Kings and Flames will tangle once again in Los Angeles on April 6.
