BOSTON — Jarome Iginla knows what 600 goals look like, and soon, he will know how it feels to reach that milestone.
Iginla was the 29-year-old captain of the Calgary Flames on Feb. 15, 2007, when Avalanche legend and current Colorado general manager Joe Sakic scored his 600th goal in Calgary. Iginla, now in his second season with the Avs, scored his 596th goal Tuesday in a 4-0 victory at Philadelphia.
Iginla, 38, is bound to become the second Avs player to reach 600, and 19th overall. He remembers Sakic's 600th, a third-period insurance goal in Colorado's 7-5 victory at the Saddledome that completed a five-point night for Sakic.
