Anton Forsberg’s 29-save shutout powers the Kings to a 2-0 win, snapping a five-game slide and reigniting playoff hopes.
The Los Angeles Kings posted a 2-0 victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday, with Anton Forsberg turning in a career-high 29 stops. The shutout ends a five-game winless stretch and marks the goalie’s second blank this season.
Fresh off a relief appearance in an 8-1 loss to Edmonton, Forsberg’s performance underscores the Kings’ need for stability between the pipes. AP NHL notes the Kings have three games left on a six-game homestand.
Offensive spark came from Alex Laferriere, who rattled the rebound for his 14th goal of the campaign with 4:24 left in the second period. Adrian Kempe sealed the win with an empty-net marker in the final minute, his 22nd of the season.
Calgary’s Dustin Wolf made 35 saves, but the Flames fell short. The net-minder spent seven years in the Los Angeles Junior Kings youth program before rising to the WHL.
