COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Despite being one of the NHLs most prolific scorers, Jarome Iginla is usually nowhere to be found when the Calgary Flames get to a shootout. O.J. Mayo jersey . For whatever reason, he just cant seem to find the net in the tiebreaker that showcases the leagues shooting stars. But coach Brent Sutter played a hunch by sending him out first, and Iginla came through. Iginla scored in regulation and then added a goal in the shootout to give the Flames a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. "I dont think I shot many last year, or wasnt successful," Iginla said after adding to the Flames win streak and handing the Blue Jackets their fifth consecutive loss. "Its been a while. It just feels good to get the fourth win in a row, to get a comeback in the third period in a tight game." With shootout specialist Alex Tanguay out for the third game in a row because of an undisclosed upper-body injury, Sutter decided to send out his captain. "I just had a gut feeling that I would allow him to be our first shooter," Sutter said. "No, he doesnt normally shoot for us. Hes the first to admit hes not as good as hed like to be at it. He gets teased about it in the dressing room by the guys. I just thought, Tonight, why not?" Iginla, who scored in the third period to tie it 1-1, stepped to centre ice in the shootout after Mark Letestu failed to score. The perennial all-star faked once, then twice, to get Steve Mason down on the ice, and then slipped the puck past him on the stick side. He broke up when asked if he had a particular move in mind. "I dont really have a lot of great philosophies on that," he said, laughing. "I definitely worked on it a lot this summer. (Backup goalie Henrik Karlsson) gave me one move. If I was to beat Hank, that was the one Id use if I had the chance. I had that one in my head, and fortunately it worked." Miikka Kiprusoff, who had 27 saves through overtime, did the rest. He denied Rick Nash with a poke-check before James Wisniewskis wrister clanged off the right post. "We got a huge effort from Kiprusoff," forward Blake Comeau said. "He kept us in it the whole way. Jarome scored a big goal in the third. The game wasnt pretty, but when youre in a race like we are, youll take two points any way you can get em." Derick Brassard scored for the Blue Jackets in the second period. Mason had 25 saves. It was another late failure for the Blue Jackets, the worst closers in the NHL. They have lost seven games in which they led going into the third period. "The third period was pretty good. We did a lot of good things," embattled coach Scott Arniel said of his team, which has won just seven of its last 29 home games. "They were a little bit fresher team than we were. But we did a real good job of not giving up much and we created a couple of chances." The Blue Jackets, who lost 4-1 in Chicago on Monday night, had a lengthy team meeting after their morning skate. "I told the players afterward that they went out and played for each other," Arniel said. "They played hard for each other. They did the little things together. You could tell on the bench there was a lot of energy. I just told (GM Scott Howson) I would like to have seen them be rewarded with two points because it was a real good team effort." Instead, the Flames escaped with the victory. "We found a way," Sutter said. "Kipper was obviously huge for us. He played outstanding. Jarome got a big power-play goal. Obviously, to win it in a shootout, its a big win." NOTES: Columbus RW Derek Dorsett appeared to catch a high stick to the chin from Calgarys Olli Jokinen late in the second period. He returned in the third. ... Several milestones remain close for the Flames: C Brendan Morrison needs a goal for 200 and a point for 600; Sutter needs one more win for 100 as Calgary coach, and Jokinen is three games shy of 1,000. ... It was the second of a season-high, seven-game road trip for the Flames while their home arena hosts the IIHF world junior hockey championship. ... Columbus G Curtis Sanford, who had beaten Calgary twice this season, was "banged up," according to Arniel, and sat out. Mikko Koivu Jersey .

Durban, South Africa (Sports Network) - Wesley Sneijder scored early in the second half and the Netherlands edged Japan, 1-0, on Saturday at Moses Mabhida Stadium to take control of Group E at the FIFA World Cup.

Cameroon was the first team eliminated with the loss. The Dutch lead the group with six points, and Japan and Denmark are level with three points ahead of their clash on the final day of group play. We went out there looking to win the game, Dutch midfielder Mark van Bommel said. Japan were very defensive, which we didnt expect. We thought theyd come at us. We had to be patient. We knew that wed score at some point, provided we stayed patient. After that we concentrated on defending the lead, although we ought to have scored a second on the break. The Netherlands dominated possession in the first half but Dirk Kuyts bicycle attempt in the 10th minute that was cleared by a defender was its only scoring chance through 45 minutes. Marcus Tulio Tanaka headed Japans best chance well wide in the 36th from just six yards. The Japanese then forced Dutch goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg to make his lone save of the half in the 37th on a half-chance from Daisuke Matsui. Holland managed its first shot on goal in first-half stoppage time, but Rafael Van der Vaarts ball was easily handled at the right post by Japan goalie Eiji Kawashima. The Dutch opened the second half with more possession, and two good chances in the opening five minutes. Robin van Persie nodded a Giovanni Van Bronckhorst cross at the left post from 12 yards to force a save by Kawashimma in the 48th and Van Persie wasted a good long pass from Mark van Bommel one minute later when he fired wide on a one- touch effort from eight yards.

Van Bronckhorst played a cross in from the left, and Van Persie slid a pass back to Sneijder at the top of the area. Sneijder unleashed a rocket at the left post that Kawashima misjudged, allowing the ball to swerve off his left hand and deflect into the right side of the goal. Japan upped its tempo after Sneijders goal, and Yoshito Okubos 25-yard blast forced a save from Stekelenburg in the 56th and Yuki Abes flicked header went through traffic to the Dutch goalie in the 60th. The Japanese continued to enjoy their longest spells of possession and Okubos 65th-minute shot bounced wide of the right post on another long-range effort. Ibrahim Afellay ended a long spell without chances for either side in the 85th but the Dutch substitutes chance was saved by Kawashima. Afellay had another chance in the 88th that substitute Klaas-Jan Huntelaar created, but his chance was eventually cleared. Japan nearly found the equalizer seconds before the 90-minute mark, but after a nice flick on from Tanaka, Shinji Okazaki lifted a 10-yard shot just inches over the bar and the Dutch held on for their second straight victory. Our players tried everything they could, but weve been unable to beat the Netherlands. Im really sorry for our supporters, Japan manager Takeshi Okada said.
