CALGARY - Finally, someone other than Jarome Iginla sparked the Calgary Flames. Eli Manning Womens Jersey . Daymond Langkow opened the scoring and assisted on Nigel Dawes game-winner Wednesday night as the Calgary Flames beat the Phoenix Coyotes 2-1. With the game tied 1-1 in the third period, David Moss found Dawes with a pass from behind the Coyotes net. The Flames forward one-timed the puck past Ilya Bryzgalov at 14:16 for a lead that would hold up. "It was a great pass. I didnt even know if he saw me or not and he put it right on my stick and I just had to get it up over (Bryzgalov)," said Dawes. Dawes fifth of the season was his first goal in 13 games. "Obviously whenever youre in a little bit of a slump, its nice to get that one," Dawes said. "I havent been getting to the areas that I need to. I need to get in close to the net because thats where Im going to have my success and score the goals." Phoenix applied late pressure but were unable to beat Calgary netminder Miikka Kiprusoff. In a dangerous rush late in the game, Kiprusoff first kicked out a pad to stop Peter Mueller then sprawled to deny Shane Doan on the rebound. "We didnt play remotely good enough in the second period and obviously, its starting to get a little monotonous that we cant score goals and it starts with me," said a frustrated Doan. "Were getting chances, were getting opportunities. I get a chance with three minutes left to tie it up and I dont capitalize on it and thats the difference in the game." Kiprusoff finished with 27 stops to improve to 13-5-3. In addition to his clutch saves late in the game, Kiprusoff was also sharp in the opening minutes, stopping Vernon Fiddlers dangerous shot then thwarting Daniel Winnik on the rebound. "He was good, thats for sure. Especially on those rebounds," said Winnik. "Those saves right at the start of the game changed the momentum." Kiprusoff made 11 saves in the first period to keep the game scoreless. "Early in the game when they had two or three whacks at it right in front, making saves like that is huge for us," said Langkow. Bryzgalov finished up with 26 stops and saw his record fall to 12-8-1. Keith Yandle scored for Phoenix (13-11-1). With the loss, the Coyotes dropped both ends of its two-game trip to Alberta. Phoenix fell 4-0 to Edmonton on Monday. "That seems to have been our trend here for the last couple years," said Winnik. "For whatever reason, we never play well in Edmonton and theyre always close games here that we always seem to lose with less than five minutes left." Calgary (14-6-3) was playing its only home game in a stretch of 10. The Flames had lost four of their previous five games at home and are just 7-5-0 at the Pengrowth Saddledome. "This was one right in between a couple road trips so it was a huge win coming home and not having that let down," Dawes said. "Now we have the opportunity to go back on the road and continue the way that weve been playing on the road." The Flames head to Detroit and a Friday night clash with the Red Wings having earned points in 10 straight on the road (8-0-2). After a lacklustre opening 30 minutes by both teams, Calgary started to pick up some momentum midway through the second. In Calgarys best scoring chance of the game up to that point, the red-hot Iginla set up Jamie Lundmark in the slot but his one-timer was turned aside by Bryzgalov. Iginla entered the night on a five-game point streak and had scored 12 of Calgarys 25 goals through its first 10 games of November. The Flames kept up a steady forecheck and were rewarded at 17:20 of the second. Deep in his own end, former Flames defenceman Jim Vandermeer had his clearing attempted knocked down by the Eric Nystrom. Curtis Glencross pounced on the loose puck and fed Langkow darting into the slot, who fired inside the post for his eighth of the season. Yandles tying goal came on the power play at 10:30 of the third. After Calgary defenceman Adam Pardy was unable to clear, Phoenix worked the puck over to Yandle, who beat a screened Kiprusoff with a blast into the top corner at 10:30 of the third. Phoenixs blue-line was bolstered by the return of Ed Jovanovski (lower body, eight games) and Zbynek Michalek (lower body, nine games). The two were paired together. Notes: The five-game scoring streaks for Iginla (seven goals, one assist) and Olli Jokinen (one goal, six assists) both came to an end. ... Not in the lineup was Calgary D Cory Sarich (undisclosed injury). Sarichs absence opened up a spot for D Aaron Johnson, a healthy scratch for the past 12 games. ... Calgary had six former Coyotes in its lineup. Phoenix had three former Flames -- Matthew Lombardi, Adrian Aucoin and Vandermeer, all of whom were playing against their former team for the first time. Deion Branch Youth Jersey . - Mark Calcavecchia finished a round of 65 and left PGA National in a hurry, since his son was waiting at an airport an hour away. Rob Gronkowski Jersey Aaron Hernandez Super Bowl Jersey . Marlon Byrd and Jeff Baker each had two hits, scored twice and drove in a pair of runs to pace an 18-hit attack for the Cubs, who have won five of their last seven. Zambrano (6-6) allowed one unearned run on four hits and four walks while fanning seven for Chicago, which won for just a fourth time in 13 tries against the Pirates this season.

Tweet LESTER PATRICK CELEBRATION, OCT. 27 Click here to buy your tickets now › After more than 50 years in the game of hockey, very little shocks Boston College coach Jerry York. It appears, however, that a call from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman makes that short list. This summer, York was driving back from a round of golf, idly contemplating the days play, when his phone rang. When he picked up and heard, Hi, this is Gary Bettman, on the other end, he was flabbergasted. The call from Bettman was to inform York, the long-time Boston College coach of his selection to receive the Lester Patrick Award, given annually by the NHL and USA Hockey for contributions the hockey in the United States. "Im stunned, still," he laughs. "Its still kind of some mixed emotions." It wasnt the first phone call that brought life-changing news to the ever-smiling Bostonian. Oddly enough, York remembers the one innocent phone call that started his whole coaching career. Jerry York (Getty Images) Jerry York (Getty Images) At the time, York was a graduate student at Boston College, working as an assistant with schools freshman hockey team alongside legendary Eagles coach John Snooks Kelley, when Clarkson coach Len Ceglarski phoned to tell York about a coaching opportunity with the Golden Knights. "Lenny called and said, If you dont like it, go back to law school, or get your MBA. I was just getting married and convinced my wife (Bobbie, with whom York has two children, Laura and Brendan) to move to upstate New York. "I found I kind of liked it," York said of coaching Clarkson. "I remember my father telling me, When are you going to get a real job?" He was just 26 when he took the Clarkson job, the youngest Div. I head coach in the nation. After seven years in Potsdam, N.Y., he moved on to Bowling Green State University. In 15 years with the Falcons, York took his team to the NCAA postseason six times, including a 1984 Division I Championship, picking up the Spencer Penrose Trophy as National Coach of the Year in 1976-77, as well as CCHA Coach of the Year honors in 1981-82. In 1994, York took over coaching duties at his alma mater, Boston College, and has brought the Eagles to the NCAA Frozen Four nine times, taking the title in 2001, 2008, and 2010. In 2003-04, he garnered both Hockey East and New England Coach of the Year awards. York is the all-time leader in NCAA postseason wins, and has coached three Hobey Baker Award winners. He is also one of only three NCAA coaches to have won national titles with two different schools. Ned Harkness and Rick Comley are the other two. Thirty-nine years and 853 career wins as a head coach, and counting, and hes turned it into a job well done. 2010 LESTER PATRICK AWARDS Boston icon Neely earned Lester Patrick Award York flabbergasted by Lester Patrick Award AHL president Andrews a worthy Patrick winner Boston coaching legends share Patrick honors Lester Patrick Awards set for Oct. 27 | Buy Tickets VIDEO: Jerry York | Jack Parker | Cam Neely ALL LESTER PATRICK AWARD STORIES › The journey began back in Watertown, Mass., where York refined his thick Boston accent and hockey skills, playing for Boston College High School in the mid-1960s, followed by Boston College, where he lettered in hockey and eventually captained the team. He was the 1966-67 recipient of the Walter Brown Award for the top American-born player in New England, and still ranks among BCss all-time leaders in career points, career goals, career assists, single-season points and single-season assists. Hakeem Nicks Youth Jersey. A well-known hometown star, he spent a good amount of his younger years facing off against a young man by the name of Jack Parker -- the same man who heads up the bench for cross-town rival Boston University, and will receive the Lester Patrick Award alongside York on Wednesday night. "Its really special, really unbelievable to share it with Jack," York says of the man who most closely trails him in active wins with 834. "Weve known one another since we were 13 or 14, and that makes it even more special. Jack knows what I go through every day, and I know what he goes through. Its special for us, we mirror each other. We spend from September to May doing the same thing." That thing is developing hockey players and coaches, something York has done in spades. Hes graduated the likes of Marty Reasoner, Brooks Orpik, Rob Blake, Mike Mottau, Brian Gionta, Dan Bylsma, and George McPhee, among others, to the NHL level as players, coaches, and front-office personnel. Despite his successes, York still looks forward to challenging himself every season by making magic with his collection of players each fall. "I always wanted to take a team in October, these 25 men, and turn them into a team," he said. Of course, it helps that after almost four decades, York still knows where to look. The 3 Ms lead the way, he says of Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Michigan; but, in recent years, players have begun to crop up in all corners of the country, and thats helped the sport along. "Boys growing up in Florida, New Jersey are getting into hockey, and now were getting really good athletes," he said. While every player coming through the B.C. pipeline is special in his own way, several stick out in Yorks mind. McPhee, Gionta, and Dave Taylor all refined their game with York as their coach, and he tries to maintain contact with them. "Im ecstatic to watch them develop," he said. "College hockey has always been a special place. You go through an incredible experience. Players stay for four years, get a degree, and go play in the NHL … thats a Utopia. I can one day see Gionta joining Taylor in the Hall of Fame." Of course, with all of his success, both personally and through the exploits of his players, the question lurks as to why hasnt York ever made the transition to the pro game? "I always wanted to take a team in October, these 25 men, and turn them into a team." -- Jerry York His resume certainly speaks to his abilities. But in the end, the old adage holds sway here: "If it aint broke, dont fix it." "Sure, it passed through my mind -- go coach the Bruins, go coach the Rangers," he said. "I never had the inclination. Ive always been comfortable with college hockey. Its a setting I enjoy. This is the pinnacle, in my eyes." Now, he reaches another pinnacle -- joining a select group of hockey luminaries that have been officially recognized for their contributions to the game in the United States. The enormity of the honor is certainly not loss on York. "I received a book on the Patrick Family by Eric Whitehead in the 1980s, and they were just a fantastic family," York said. "They were the original, really good players. CALGARY - Finally, someone other than Jarome Iginla sparked the Calgary Flames. Eli Manning Womens Jersey .
