Sports / NHL Flames Perfect Against Blue Jackets Predators shred Oilers on Erat's hat trick, Avs get 2-1 win off Canucks By Katherine Thompson, Newser Staff Posted Mar 5, 2008 3:00 AM CST Copied Nashville Predators' J.P.

(AP Photo/The Canadian Press, John Ulan) (Associated Press) Everyone was waiting for Jarome Iginla to score his franchise-record-setting 356th goal for the Flames, but that didn't happen against the Blue Jackets. Little else occurred for Calgary, as their 1-0 victory came despite being thoroughly outshot by Columbus. Miikka Kiprusoff needed 39 saves to record the shutout, the Calgary Herald reports. Elsewhere in the NHL: Nashville had scored by the first minute of the first period, and Martin Erat had a hat trick by the first minute of the second in the Predators' resounding 5-1 defeat of Edmonton. Peter Forsberg "didn't seem too rusty" despite not having played for Colorado for nearly a year, and with him back the Avalanche snagged a 2-1 victory over Vancouver. (More NHL stories.)
