Monday, November 11th, 2024
Mikael Backlund led the Calgary Flames to a 3-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday, contributing a goal and an assist.
In addition to Backlund, Jonathan Huberdeau scored his sixth goal, and Kevin Rooney added an empty-net goal to secure the victory.
Trevor Moore was the lone scorer for Los Angeles, stopping rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf from achieving his first NHL shutout with a goal 2:31 before the game ended.
The Flames had a strong start in the first period, dominating the Kings in shots and generating multiple opportunities.
A key moment occurred in the second period when Backlund took advantage of a Kings' mistake, breaking the tie at 10:42.
Despite Los Angeles attempting to equalize with a 6-on-4 by pulling their goalie, Calgary's penalty kill held strong and they couldn't score.
The Kings will face the Colorado team in their upcoming game on Wednesday, while the Flames are set to play in Vancouver on Tuesday.
