First period shots were 13-7 Flames. Via Natural Stat Trick, 5v5 scoring chances were 11-9 Flames and high-danger scoring chances were 5-3 Flames.<\/p>\n
As they approached the midway mark of the second frame, the Flames tied things up. With Kevin Bahl in the penalty box, Blake Coleman made a savvy play, anticipating the Kings were going to cycle the puck to the point and intercepting the pass. He raced through the neutral zone and beat Darcy Kuemper glove-side on his shorthanded breakaway to tie the game at 1-1.<\/p>\n
Blake Coleman with a shorthanded goal, and we are tied!<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udfa5 Sportsnet | #Flames<\/a> <\/p>\n Second period shots were 17-3 Flames. 5v5 scoring chances were 7-7 and high-danger scoring chances were 4-1 Flames.<\/p>\n Neither team scored in the third period, but both teams had their looks.<\/p>\n Third period shots were 11-7 Kings. 5v5 scoring chances were 9-5 Kings and high-danger scoring chances were 3-1 Kings.<\/p>\n This game required extra time to determine a winner.<\/p>\n 33 seconds into overtime, it appeared that Anze Kopitar had redirected an Adrian Kempe pass legally into the net, but it was overturned by the Situation Room for a distinct kicking motion being present.<\/p>\n 33 seconds after Kopitar\u2019s overturned goal, the Flames got a three-on-one rush. Jonathan Huberdeau found Morgan Frost streaking towards the net and Frost raised Huberdeau\u2019s feed over top of a sprawling Kuemper to give the Flames a goal and a 2-1 overtime win.<\/p>\n IT’S AN OVERTIME WINNER FROM MORGAN FROST!!!<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5 Sportsnet | #Flames<\/a> <\/p>\n Why the Flames won<\/p>\n This was a pretty strong road game for the Flames. They didn\u2019t take a ton of penalties. They managed the puck well. They forechecked well. They got good goaltending. They got a ton of shots on net. Yeah, they probably could\u2019ve gotten more tips and traffic in front of Kings netminder Darcy Kuemper. Yeah, their power play wasn\u2019t all that great. But playing against a Kings team that hasn\u2019t been a world-beater this season, the Flames did what they had to do to keep the game close and then took advantage of an opportunity in overtime to get the extra point.<\/p>\n Red Warrior<\/p>\n Let\u2019s give it to Blake Coleman, whose shorthanded beauty tied up the game and gave the Flames a chance to win.<\/p>\n But heck, not many guys had \u201cbad\u201d nights. This was a good team effort.<\/p>\n Turning point<\/p>\n The Flames played well enough to deserve a point, but that overturned Kings overtime goal followed immediately by the Frost game-winner seems like a good candidate for this one.<\/p>\n This and that<\/p>\n Dustin Wolf started in net after backing up Devin Cooley on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n Mikael Backlund left the game both late in the first period and late in the second period, ultimately missing the entirety of the third frame. In his absence, Morgan Frost and Nazem Kadri got extra shifts playing between Blake Coleman and Connor Zary.<\/p>\n With it being the Dads Trip, Morgan Frost\u2019s father, former Toronto Maple Leafs public address announcer Andy Frost, announced the starting lineup in the Flames\u2019 locker room.<\/p>\n After Burner<\/p>\n Join Jordan and Mike from the In The Dome podcast right after the game for After Burner!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Up next<\/p>\n The Flames (13-16-4) are headed north\u2026 but staying in California. They\u2019ll face the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night to close out their road trip.<\/p>\n This article is brought to you by Platinum MitsubishiThis article is a Presentation of Platinum Mitsubishi, family owned and operated by lifelong Calgarians.
