Preview: Struggling Flames Face Kings in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (Interstat) β Two Western Conference teams looking to stabilize their seasons will meet when the Calgary Flames visit the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night at Crypto.com Arena. The Flames (12-20-0) arrive after a 4-3 home loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday, which halted a modest two-game win streak. Calgary has shown recent flashes, winning four of its last seven, but remains near the bottom of the conference standings. A bright spot has been forward Matt Coronato. The young winger scored a goal and fired seven shots on net against Detroit, extending his recent point streak to a productive stretch. Over his last 10 games, Coronato has recorded three goals and four assists, establishing himself as a consistent offensive threat for Calgary. The Kings (14-16-0) are also seeking consistency after a 3-2 overtime loss in Seattle on Wednesday. Their record has been bolstered by strong goaltending, particularly from Anton Forsberg. In his last four appearances, Forsberg has posted a 1-0-3 record with a .947 save percentage, including a 30-save performance against the Kraken. His steadiness will be key against a Flames team that has scored 19 goals in its last five games. Los Angeles has fared better at home recently, with a decisive 6-0 win over Chicago last Saturday. Captain Anze Kopitar, who had an assist in Seattle, continues to be the focal point of the Kingsβ attack. Historically, this matchup has been tight. The teams split their two meetings last season, each winning on home ice. For Calgary, secondary scoring behind Coronato will be crucial. Nazem Kadri, who had two assists against Detroit, and Joel Farabee will need to contribute as the Flames continue a three-game road trip. For the Kings, generating offense beyond their top line remains a priority as they look to climb above .500. The game opens a brief two-game homestand before Los Angeles embarks on a challenging four-game road trip through the Eastern Conference. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. PST. The Flames continue their trip Tuesday in San Jose, while the Kings host the Columbus Blue Jackets next Monday.
