HBO’s The Wire taught us all that if you come at the king, you best not miss. On Monday night, the Calgary Flames had several opportunities to beat the Los Angeles Kings. But they failed to bury their chances, frequently, en route to a 3-0 setback to the Kings.
The Rundown
The Kings got on the board early, scoring on their second shot of the game just 57 seconds in. A Derek Forbort shot through traffic was redirected by Jeff Carter in front, beating Mike Smith to give the Kings a 1-0 lead.
The home side had a few opportunities to get one back in the opening period, including three power plays that saw the Flames combine for eight shots and zero goals.
