The Calgary Flames reached the inevitable conclusion of their disappointing second half this evening at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Flames were shut out 3-0 by the Los Angeles Kings, officially eliminating the local hockey heroes from playoff contention.
It’s not a terribly surprising result when you consider they’ve lost six in a row and have posted a 10-18-6 record since the CBA-mandated bye week.
The Rundown
The Flames had a bit of energy in the first period, throwing their weight around a bit and making the Kings fight for territory. Neither team scored, but the period was fairly even.
