URGENT UPDATE: In a thrilling overtime finish, Morgan Frost scored to secure a 2-1 victory for the Calgary Flames against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night. This victory highlights the Flames’ momentum as they continue to surge in the NHL.
The game, held in Los Angeles, saw Frost net the decisive goal just 1:06 into overtime after a remarkable 3-on-1 break led by Jonathan Huberdeau. This marked Frost’s eighth goal of the season and a critical moment for the Flames, who have now won eight of their last 12 games.
Earlier in the game, Blake Coleman had given Calgary a boost with a short-handed goal, showcasing the team’s defensive prowess and quick offensive response. Dustin Wolf stood tall in goal, making 20 saves and securing his fourth consecutive win as Calgary’s netminder.
The Kings initially took the lead with a goal from Adrian Kempe, who scored his fourth goal in seven games with a powerful one-timer in the first period. However, the Flames dominated the second period, outshooting Los Angeles 17-4 and eventually equalizing through Coleman, who intercepted a pass and executed a breakaway wrist shot.
Notably, the game featured a controversial moment when an apparent game-winning goal by Anze Kopitar was overturned after a video review found a kicking motion, giving Calgary new life and leading to Frost’s overtime heroics.
This match was the 14th game of the season for the Kings decided in overtime or a shootout out of 21 total one-goal contests, underscoring their resilience but also their struggle to close out tight games.
