|
November 19, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff got pulled after a dreadful outing on Thursday in the Flames' 7-1 loss to Chicago. Kiprusoff stopped just 18-of-24 shots before being yanked in favor of Curtis McElhinney. Our View:Kiprusoff is a very good goaltender, but he has allowed nine goals in his last two starts.

|

Our View:No surprise here, as Kiprusoff has been excllent as usual this season. He is 10-3-2 with a .921 save percentage and 2.38 goals against, so expect him to be in net on most nights this season. |
|
November 13, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 32-of-33 shots in tonight's 2-1 shootout loss at Buffalo. Our View:Kiprusoff performed well, but was forced to take a loss as his teammates were shut down by opposing netminder Ryan Miller.

|
November 4, 2009 The Calgary Herald reports that Miikka Kiprusoff will likely miss Wednesday's game due to an illness. Our View:Kiprusoff was sent home from practice before he even dressed out, so it was apparent that he wasn't feeling well. Expect this to pass quickly though. Curtis McElhinney will likely get the start tonight and Kiprusoff should return this weekend. |
|

Our View:Kiprusoff had his three-game winning streak snapped, and was handed his second loss over 10 starts.

|

|
October 12, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff got torched on Monday night, stopping just 33-of-39 shots, as Calgary lost 6-5 to Chicago. Our View:The loss was Kiprusoff's first of the season. Don't expect him to allow six goals too many more times in 2009-10. |
|

|
October 2, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff turned away 39-of-42 shots on Thursday, as the Flames beat the Canucks 5-3 on opening night. Our View:Kiprusoff is coming off the worst season of his career, and at age 32, probably isn't the elite goal-tender he once was. |
|
September 20, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff only saw limited time on Sunday, but he fared well in the Flames' 5-2 win over the Panthers. Kiprusoff stopped 11 of the 12 shots he faced in the game. Our View:Kiprusoff may be the most important player on the Flames' team this season, as they will need him to be superb if they are going to take the next step this season. He is still considered one of the top goaltenders in the Western Conference, so expect another big season from Kiprusoff. |
|
April 22, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 28 of 32 shots in the Flames' 6-4 win over Chicago on Wednesday. The Flames tied up the series 2-2 as they head back to Chicago for Game 5. Our View:Kiprusoff wasn't great tonight, but he was good enough. He made some big stops late in the third after the Flames took the lead, and he has been a big part of the last two Flames victories. |
|
April 6, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 23 of 24 shots in Calgary's 4-1 win over the Kings on Monday. He improved to 4-0 against Los Angeles this season. Our View:Kiprusoff has alternated wins and losses for six straight games, which is uncharacteristic given his success this season.

|
April 4, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff turned aside 24 of the 28 shots he faced Friday night as the Flames were blanked 4-0 in Minnesota at Xcel Energy Center. Our View:Kiprusoff had yet another attempt for consecutive victories thwarted. He has not won two starts in a row since early March.

|
April 2, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff made 29 saves against Dallas on Thursday night to help lead the Flames to a 2-1 road win at American Airlines Center.

|
March 28, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff and the Flames downed the Wild, 3-2, as Kiprusoff faced just 15 shots, stopping 13 of them. Our View:Kiprusoff did not have a great night, but it was enough for him to stop a two-game losing streak. The win was his 43rd of the year, and he remains one of the most valuable goalies in fantasy. |
|
March 25, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 26-of-28 shots and took the loss to the Penguins on Wednesday night. Our View:While this loss is not entirely Kiprusoff's fault, he is not doing much to stop the Flames recent bad patch. He has allowed 32 goals in his last ten starts, five of which have been losses. |
|
March 23, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff will make his 67th start in goal tonight against the Red Wings at the Pengrowth Saddledome, according to MLive.com.

|
March 18, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 18 of 19 shots and earned the win on Wednesday night against the Stars. Our View:The wins are right on target for what you want out of a top fantasy netminder, but Miikka's GAA and save percentage are noticeably down from his career averages. |
|

|

|
February 22, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff turned away 26 of 28 shots, then shutout the Oilers in a shootout to give the Flames a 3-2 victory on Saturday. Our View:Kiprussoff has now played three-straight games with an extra frame and he may be due for a rest. With 54 starts this season, he doesn't get many days off, but keep an eye open to see if he doesn't take a seat next game. |
|
February 19, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff made 25 saves in the Flames' 3-2 OT win over the Wild on Thursday. Our View:Kiprusoff was solid in a game that he wasn't really challenged to get his third win in his last four games. |
|

Our View:If you have the luxury of juggling two quality goaltenders, and Kiprusoff is one of them, start the other guy this coming week, because you'll want Kiprusoff to play the week beginning Mar. 1. That week, the Flames play six consecutive games against teams from the Eastern Conference, and Kiprusoff is a sterling 8-1-1 with a 2.09 GAA against teams from the East. |
|

|
January 14, 2009 Miikka Kiprusoff made 27 saves Tuesday night in Calgary's 3-1 win over St. Louis.
