There were a few reasons to bet against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night.
Between injuries to key players including goaltender Jonathan Quick, backup goaltender Jeff Zatkoff, and winger Marian Gaborik, coupled with a recent scoring drought and the fact the Calgary Flames were trying to build off Thursday’s 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks, the odds seemed to lean in the visitors’ favour.
Let’s just hope you didn’t wager your life savings on it.
After an embarrassing 5-0 whipping by Darryl Sutter’s crew at Staples Center, the widely unpredictable Flames have now been out-scored 12-4 on the third stop of this four-game road trip.
