CALGARY — Nazem Kadri had a goal and an assist for the Calgary Flames in a 4-2 win over the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
Martin Pospisil, Blake Coleman and MacKenzie Weegar also scored for the Flames who halted a five-game losing skid.
But with nine games remaining in the regular season, the Flames were all but out of playoff contention. Calgary posted a 5-9-0 record in the month of March after trades overhauled the defence. The Kings were three points back of both the Nashville Predators and Vegas Golden Knights, and 15-9-1 since Jim Hiller replaced Todd McLellan as head coach Feb. 2.
Jonathan Huberdeau down low dished high to the defenceman, whose knuckleball of a shot fooled Rittich at 11:30. Markstrom repelled Kopitar splitting the Calgary defence and attempting a redirection early in the third.
