The Flames just didn’t have it tonight.
They were outplayed five on five throughout the game, and only made it close with a lack of King’s discipline in the last half of the game.
The two game roadie ends with a 1-1 split after tonight’s 5-3 loss in LA, sending the Flames to the Christmas break short of their goal to be .500.
The Flames now sit 11th in the West in win percentage and have a lot of work to do when the puck drops in a few days.
