Calgary, Alberta • Jarome Iginla scored his 100th game-winning goal, got an assist and drew blood in a fight during what might have been his Saddledome finale, helping the Los Angeles Kings beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 in a brutal game Wednesday night.

The animosity stemmed from a game March 19, when Calgary rookie Matthew Tkachuk elbowed Kings defenseman Drew Doughty in the face. Tkachuk, a 19-year-old rookie, was suspended two games.

Kyle Clifford approached Tkachuk near center ice before the game, and players from both teams gathered to exchange words. Tkachuk fought Braydon McNabb in the first period and was dropped to the ice by an upper cut.

Iginla later fought Deryk Engelland, opening a cut on Engelland's forehead that left blood all over Iginla's white jersey.

With a clean sweater, Iginla scored late in the second period to put Los Angeles up 2-1. Salt Lake City native Trevor Lewis, Anze Kopitar and Jeff Carter also scored for the Kings.

Iginla played with Calgary from 1996-2013, and this could be the 39-year-old's final season. If this was his last game in Calgary, he said goodbye in memorable fashion.

Iginla scored with 46 seconds remaining in the second during a scramble around the crease. He couldn't get his shot through, but Calgary defenseman Mark Giordano, lying flat on his belly, accidentally swept the puck into his own net while trying to pull the puck under goalie Brian Elliott, who was also sprawled on the ice.

It was Iginla's 624th career goal, moving him within one of Joe Sakic for 15th on the NHL career list. Iginla has five goals in 13 games since being acquired by Los Angeles at the trade deadline.

Iginla was named the game's top star and got a big ovation from the Calgary crowd.

Dougie Hamilton scored for Calgary, and Johnny Gaudreau had an assist to extend his point streak to six games. The Flames entered in the first wild card in the Western Conference, two points up on the St. Louis Blues, who were playing on the road in Arizona. The Kings trail the Flames by 11 points with six games remaining.

The Flames can clinch a playoff spot with a win on Friday when the San Jose Sharks visit the Saddledome.

The Kings took a 3-1 lead at 6:09 when Kopitar one-timed a shot past Elliott after a pretty passing play with Marian Gaborik and Jake Muzzin.

Carter made it 4-1 when he was set up by Iginla at 12:40.

Ben Bishop made 25 saves for the Kings. Bishop is 2-2-2 since being acquired from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline.

Elliott had 29 stops, losing for just the second time in his last 15 starts. He falls to 25-15-3 on the season.
