Miikka Kiprusoff has won more games than any goaltender in Calgary Flames history - and was made to work for the record-breaking victory.Kiprusoff turned aside 35 shots Thursday as the Flames skated past the host Montreal Canadiens 4-1. It was the 263rd victory for Kiprusoff in a Calgary uniform, moving him past Mike Vernon and into sole possession of top spot in franchise history.Kiprusoff looked shaky in the early going, misplaying a Max Pacioretty shot that caromed off the end boards and directly onto the stick of a wide-open Andrei Kostitsyn.The Finnish netminder was unbeatable after that, making several key stops along the way for his first win of the year.It was Kiprusoff's 277th career victory, leaving him 23 shy of becoming the 26th netminder - and third active goalie - to reach 300 for his career.
