The Kings played the Calgary Flames and came out the victors 6-3. I was hoping that they'd bring the momentum from the great 8-game roadtrip to Staples, and they did not disappoint. They came out fast and caught Kiprusoff with his hands down his pants.
So this was definitely a night of firsts:
1) Brian Boyle makes his Staples Center debut and does not disappoint by getting a goal!!
2) KEVIN DALLMAN nets his first goal of the year!! Whoda thunk?!?! (He also got almost 17 minutes of ice time!!!)
4) Jeff Giuliano was awarded a penalty shot. Has he ever had one before??
5) First time seeing the Flames #3 since signing his new 6-year, 6.5 million dollar contract. I would DEFINITELY NOT pay him $6.5 mil per year, but that's just me.
6) Kings take the last game of this series against the Flames with an in-your-face type of win.
