"Wasting no time feeding the building with energy, Samuel Helenius and Adam Klapka dropped their gloves off the opening faceoff for one helluva tilt that saw two big bodies go at it. In a period where the puck was largely spent on Flames' sticks, the Kings were opportunistic, taking a 1-0 lead into the intermission. Alex Laferriere showed some incredible patience, stopping up at the hashmarks before finding Adrian Kempe across the ice for a one-timer that beat Dustin Wolf high glove side."
"Just over six minutes into the second period, the Kings were awarded their first power play of the game. Ranked dead last in the league, the Kings held true to that, as Kevin Fiala handed Blake Coleman the opportunity to go in all alone on Darcy Kuemper. Taking advantage, Coleman evened things up for the Flames at one. The Flames continued to throw as much as they could toward the net, racking up 37 shots,"
"Anze Kopitar thought he had won it, deflecting the puck in off his foot early on in overtime, but it was called back due to a kicking motion. Seconds later, the Flames did what they should have been able to do in regulation, as Morgan Frost found the back of the net off a pass from Jonathan Huberdeau for the overtime winner."
The Calgary Flames beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 in overtime after a tightly contested game at Crypto.com Arena. An early Alex Laferriere setup created a one-timer goal for Adrian Kempe to give the Kings a first-period lead. Blake Coleman capitalized on a second-period breakaway after a Kings power play miscue to tie the game. The Flames outshot the Kings 37-? and pushed consistently toward the net while Darcy Kuemper made key saves to keep the game close. Anze Kopitar had an overtime deflection called back for a kicking motion, then Morgan Frost scored the overtime winner off Jonathan Huberdeau's pass. The Kings travel to Dallas next, and the Flames remain in California to face San Jose.
