Boy, quite the contrast from the previous night’s game. The Sharks definitely aren’t in the same league as the Kings in terms of team defense.
Thought the Kings did a great job of containing the Flames overall tonight minus the Backlund line who were easily the team’s best line of the game. I thought they were the only trio who could consistently penetrate the Kings’ structure.
Obviously, the Flames should be disappointed they gave up points to a team they’re trying to catch. But I guess on bright-side, the team got a point coming back 3-1 against a tough team.
But at some point, this team will need to figure out how to win in OT based on how many close games they play in. A point here or there could ultimately make a big difference in the final playoff picture.
