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 three-on-one 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 17-3 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.
