The Los Angeles Kings (14-8-9) suffered another home loss to the Calgary Flames (13-16-4), falling 2-1 after Anze Kopitar’s potential game-winner was disallowed due to a kicking motion. The Kings took an early lead with a goal from Adrian Kempe but struggled offensively and failed to capitalize on two power plays. Despite strong goaltending from Darcy Kuemper, who made 36 saves, the Kings’ defensive lapses and 17 giveaways proved costly. The defeat highlights the Kings’ ongoing issues with closing games, as they now have a record of 4-6-4 at home this season.
