CALGARY — Nazem Kadri provided the spark and the Calgary Flames endured a few blocked-shot bruises en route to a 4-2 doubling of the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
Kadri scored Calgary's first goal, assisted on the second and decked Kings defenceman Mikey Anderson into the boards in front of Calgary's bench to spur the hosts to a 2-1 lead after the first period.
Andrei Kuzmenko contributed a pair of assists. Calgary goaltender Jacob Markstrom, who made 16 saves for the win, got help from teammates who blocked a combined 18 shots. "That's the story of an 82-game season. Really can't get too high, can't get too low," Kings captain Anze Kopitar said."Now we've got nine left. We've obviously got to bring it and make sure that we get into the playoffs and then we'll go from there."
Calgary scored three power-play goals in a game for the first time this season to convert over half their five chances in front of an announced 17,517 at the Saddledome. Los Angeles went 2-for-4 with a man advantage. Coleman's power-play marker to make it 3-1 at 11:58 of the second period was the Texan's 29th of the season. Kopitar countered on the power play at 18:25 for his 25th, which pulled the Kings within a goal again.
