Flames backup goaltender Joey MacDonald stopped 29 shots to garner his sixth victory of the season Friday night, tying veteran Calgary goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff in that category. "He's a favorite in the locker room and a great team player, so I'm pushing for him a lot. I like to have him on my team," Calgary coach Bob Hartley said. MacDonald, who allowed two goals in the Flames' 3-2 overtime win over Phoenix Friday night, will be an unrestricted free agent after this season but his play of late likely will earn him a decent contract offer from the Flames.

Joey MacDonald stopped 29 of 31 shots and earned an uplifting win for the Flames in a 3-2 OT decision over Phoenix Friday night. Coming off a 39 save 3-1 win over Colorado last week, MacDonald will likely see a decent amount of starts in the season's final weeks.

Joey MacDonald will play between the pipes on Friday. MacDonald is coming off a stunning 39-save performance against the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. He has a 3.05 GAA and .895 save percentage in 15 games this season.

Goaltender Joey MacDonald, in what probably was the best performance of his National Hockey League career, turned aside 39 of 40 shots against the Avalanche in Colorado Monday night to spark the Calgary Flames to a 3-1 triumph. MacDonald, filling in for veteran Miika Kiprusoff, allowed eight goals against the Edmonton Oilers last Wednesday. He entered the game with a 3.19 goals-against average against the Avs and an .893 save percentage in five games.

Joey MacDonald will play between the pipes on Monday. It will be MacDonald's first start since he allowed eight goals against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday. This time he'll face the Colorado Avalanche, which he has a career 3.19 GAA and .893 save percentage in five games.

Hopefully you didn't start Joey MacDonald on Wednesday. If so, your GAA and save percentage numbers are likely to be in serious trouble this week. MacDonald allowed eight goals on 39 shots in a vicious loss to the Edmonton Oilers. It's hard to tell what's going on with soon-to-retire No. 1 starter Miikka Kiprusoff, so life could be difficult for MacDonald in April ... one way or another.

Joey MacDonald is slated to start Wednesday for Calgary. Miikka Kiprusoff, who apparently is staying in Calgary, won't play after he was pulled in 4-1 loss to Edmonton on Monday.

Joey MacDonald kicked out 13 of 14 shots after replacing Miikka Kiprusoff on Monday. Kiprusoff is talking with the Toronto Maple Leafs and might be traded soon. If that happens, there's a good chance that MacDonald will serve as the team's starter for what's left of the season. MacDonald has a 2.79 GAA and .898 save percentage in 13 games this season.

Joey MacDonald got his first win since Feb. 24 as the Calgary Flames beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-3 on Wednesday. He's now 4-5-1 on the season with a .895 save percentage and 2.99 GAA. Nothing special about those numbers, obviously, and with Miikka Kiprusoff's strange trade-blocking threats, he isn't highly likely to see big gains after the deadline.

Joey MacDonald will be in goal for Calgary Wednesday night when the Flames host Colorado. Number one goalie Miikka Kiprusoff started games on Tuesday and Sunday, so MacDonald getting the call shouldn't come as a surprise. He has a 3-5-1 record with an .894 save percentage and a 2.98 GAA this season.
