Flames vs Kings: Battle for Playoff Momentum

It's March 24th. Welcome to Calgary Flames News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad.

I'm Corey with the story. Tonight, the Calgary Flames host the Los Angeles Kings at the Saddle Dome

in one of their final regular season matchups. The Flames sit at 29 wins, 34 losses, and 7

overtime losses for 65 points while the Kings have 28 wins, 25 losses, and 17 overtime losses for 73 points.

Calgary aims to extend its three-game winning streak, while the Kings fight for every point

in the Western Conference playoff race. The Flames have been on a roll lately, picking up wins with

structured play and some timely scoring. Blake Coleman leads them with seven points since the

trade deadline. Dustin Wolfe is expected to start in net, with the team missing players like

Conor Zeri and Jan Kuznetsov due to injury. Meanwhile, the Kings have struggled post-alimic break,

going five wins, six losses, and three ties. Their top line, featuring Artemis Panorin,

with 12 points recently, has been solid, but the rest of the squad has faltered.

Darcy Quimper should be between the pipes for Los Angeles.

Head to head, these teams have split their first two games this season with one more match-up

set for April 16th in Calgary. The Flames rank low in power play at 15.8%, but strong on penalty

kill at 81.1%, while the Kings edged them in expected goals. Catch the action starting at 7pm

mountain time on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960, the fan, as both squads battle for momentum

down the stretch.
