“After an embarrassing 5-0 whipping by Darryl Sutter’s crew at Staples Center, the widely unpredictable Flames have now been out-scored 12-4 on the third stop of this four-game road trip.”

Post-game: Flames flop against the Kings

“The Flames were not good in the first period, and greatly resembled the sloppy mess that we saw early this season. All of our old friends came out to play including too many passes, over-handling the puck and unforced defensive zone turnovers.”

CBC Sports

Setoguchi scores twice as Kings blank Flames

“Brian Elliott had 34 saves for the Flames, who lost for the third time in four games. Elliott has allowed nine goals his last two starts.”

Recap: Calgary Flames 0 @ LA Kings 5

“A mere 35 seconds later Devin Setoguchi beat Brian Elliott and the Kings took a 2-0 lead into the locker room. It’s a miracle that the score was only 2-0 as the Kings fired 15 shots at the Flames goal in the 1st as compared to the Flames mere 5.”
