The Calgary Flames (9-6-1, 19 points) played their last game in Southern California after three days off on Wednesday and lost. With two days of rest they’ll try to get a better result when they visit the Los Angeles Kings (5-9-1, 11 points) in another big Pacific Division contest.
It’s the late game on Hockey Night in Canada. Catch it on CBC, Sportsnet West, Sportsnet 360 and (as always) Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
