Fun game, glad they managed to salvage two points they almost squandered after their best start of the season. smith is getting a lot of work these days and was solid.
Tkachuk the obvious player of the game for the flames. two goals and seemed to annoy the kings to no end. Gio and backlund were good all over the ice as usual. Harmonic had a few panic plays but was solid. Hopefully he gets more comfortable and poised. It would really help stabilize the d. I thought brouwer had an excellent game. He's perfect on the 4th line. I'd take him over lazar at this point. Glass needs to come out for jankowski.
Bartkowski needed to be in the ahl last season. Just continually gifted the kings pressure and chances. Jagr was excellent early but faded, as did versteeg. Bennett got better as the game went on. Hopefully he and jagr connect soon.
Monahan was fairly unremarkable before the ot goal, which was great. Thought ferland got piled on pretty hard but wasn't overly good or bad.
