THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntoshCALGARY -- On an emotional night in which Calgary retired Jarome Iginla's jersey, Devan Dubnyk sent the fans home unhappy.
The Flames raised Iginla's No. 12 to the rafters in a nearly hour-long pre-game ceremony, which pushed the game's start time back 10 minutes. "Just a mistake behind the net with the puck," Smith said. "We battled to get back in it, but you can't make mistakes like that in close games and tonight it bit us."
Dubnyk, who has won five in a row, improves to 26-21-5. Smith, who had won five in a row, falls to 19-12-2.
