Dustin Wolf made 31 saves as the Calgary Flames overcame a slow start to defeat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1, snapping the visitor's five-game winning streak. Jonathan Huberdeau scored the game-winner on the power play and Matt Coronato had a goal and an assist.
CALGARY — Dustin Wolf, Matt Coronato and Jonathan Huberdeau have each played pivotal roles for the surprising Calgary Flames this season and that was the case again on Saturday night.
“Fortunately got a good bounce on Matty's shot. I just tried to put it in as fast as I could. I knew the goalie was out of position,” said Huberdeau, who is on pace for 36 goals. His career high is 30. Up to 10 goals on the season, eight of Coronato's goals have come since he returned to the NHL after a brief stint in the AHL at the end of October.“When guys get sent down, it's up to you with the attitude that you go down with. The night he got sent down, he didn't play for the Wranglers, but he went to their game and was in there after the game, after a win, when he could have easily just stayed at home for that one because we didn't ask him to go.
At the 15-minute mark of the first period, the Kings had a 17-2 edge in shots on the Flames but only led 1-0 thanks to Wolf's heroics.
