Jacob Markstrom was spectacular on Tuesday, making 33 saves to backstop the Calgary Flames to a critical 2-1 victory over the red-hot Los Angeles Kings.
Andrew Mangiapane and Walker Duehr provided the offence for Calgary , which wins its second consecutive game and improves to 7-3-2 in their past dozen outings.
Los Angeles entered the night two points behind Vegas and three points up on Edmonton in the battle for first place in the Pacific Division. In the final minute of the first period, after two Flames got tangled up with one King near the Calgary blue line, Kevin Fiala had all sorts of time from the centre line in on a breakaway, but as he moved, paused at the top of the crease, Markstrom got a pad on his shot.
In his sixth start in goal since being acquired by the Kings in a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Joonas Korpisalo lost for the first time. He falls to 15-12-4 on the season. It was the second video review to go against the Flames on the night and in similar circumstances. In the first, in a disputed goal that also would have put Calgary ahead by two goals, Rasmus Andersson scored a goal that was waved off due to Noah Hanifin being offside.
