LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Morgan Frost scored in overtime and Blake Coleman had a
short-handed goal in the Calgary Flames' 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings
on Saturday night.
Dustin Wolf made 20 saves for the surging Flames. They have won eight of their
past 12 games, with Wolf winning his last four starts.
Frost finished off a 3-on-1 break from Jonathan Huberdeau at 1:06 of overtime
for his eighth goal of the season, and Calgary took advantage of its reprieve
after Anze Kopitar's apparent winner 33 seconds into the extra session was
overturned for a kicking motion following a video review.
Adrian Kempe scored for the Kings, and Darcy Kuemper made 36 saves. Los Angeles
played its 14th game decided in overtime or a shootout out of 21 total one-goal
contests this season.
The Kings got off to a strong start with Kempe netting his fourth goal in the
past seven games on a one-timer midway through the first period. He has two
goals and five points during a four-game streak.
But the Flames responded with a dominant second period, posting a 17-4
advantage in shots, and finally breaking through when Coleman picked off Kevin
Fiala's pass and raced the other way on a breakaway before burying a wrist shot
from the slot. It was Coleman's third short-handed goal of the season and
Calgary's fifth.
