DALLAS — Jarome Iginla entered Thursday’s game against Dallas with just five goals in 34 games, and on pace to produce his fewest goals since he had 13 as a second-year pro in 1997-98. The Avalanche right winger, however, could still finish his 20th NHL season ahead of first-ballot Hockey Hall of Famer’s Steve Yzerman and Joe Sakic in two major categories.
Iginla, 39, played his 1,509th career game Thursday, and is now just five games shy of tying Yzerman for 15th most all-time. In all-time goals, Sakic is 15th with 625, nine more than Iginla.
In addition, Iginla is tied for eighth with Guy Lafleur in all-time game-winning goals, with 97 — just one behind No.
