The veteran Calgary forward who played one season for the Kings has scored just one goal in his last 27 games since Jan. Toffoli drove home his 29th goal from the slot on a power play 34 seconds into the second period, increasing his points total to a career-high 62. Sutter's teams hadn't allowed four goals in a first period since October 2014, when he was still behind the Kings' bench. Grundstrom put Los Angeles ahead early when he skated around Markstrom and scored a goal in his third consecutive game. Markstrom also allowed six goals in Calgary's overtime loss to Dallas two days earlier to begin the team's worst two-game defensive stretch of the season.

A six goal loss was the club’s largest margin of defeat since a 9-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Oct. Alex Edler sprung Kempe into the Flames zone on a breakway and his shot trickled under Markstrom’s arm and in to make it 5-1 Kings. The puck drifted to Elias Lindholm in the corner, and his feed to Tyler Toffoli in the slot was shot past Copley to cut the Kings lead to 4-1. Alex Iafallo collected the puck, fed it to Gabriel Vilardi in the slot for a quick tap-in past Markstrom. Grundstrom beat Weegar in a foot-race from the point, accepted a pass from Rasmus Kupari and chipped it past Jacob Markstrom to give the Kings a 1-0 lead. The Calgary Flames headed into Los Angeles on Monday night for a very important game with the Kings.

With their playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the Flames played arguably their worst game of the season on Monday night in Los Angeles.

The last time a Sutter-coached group allowed that many in the opening frame was Oct. Maybe that’s all the Flames can do. This is where the experience of their veterans and former Stanley Cup winners is supposed to matter. Making a run isn’t impossible, but the Flames must be a lot better than they were on Monday. Eleven games to try to change the story of their season and qualify for a spot in the playoffs. “We were too slow and got outworked and that’s what happens.” Offensively, the Flames never looked like they had a comeback in them. Jacob Markstrom’s been pretty decent in net recently, but he saved only 20-of-26 shots before getting replaced by Dan Vladar after two periods. For a fanbase desperate for signs that their team might somehow find an extra gear down the stretch and make some sort of miraculous recovery that lands them a post-season spot, there were no positives. The Flames were down 4-0 at the first intermission. Somehow, though, the actual game may have been even uglier. Article content

Looking at how much the Calgary Flames' March 20 loss to the Los Angeles Kings dropped their playoff chances and boosted the Winnipeg Jets'.

The April 5 matchup against the Jets is going to be a bonkers game by the looks of things. Going into their matchup against the Kings on Monday night, the Flames were only four points behind the Jets, with a game at hand (77 points in 70 games). That was the closest the Flames have been to getting into a playoff position in quite some time, so fans were excited. But as we’ve seen all season, it doesn’t matter who the Flames opponent is, as they have routinely lost to teams they shouldn’t. Winnipeg is the incumbent, with 81 points in 71 games, while the Predators sit at 76 points with 68 games played. For the Calgary Flames, things were looking up on Sunday, as both the Winnipeg Jets and Nashville Predators dropped their games.

If you start asking too many questions about what Monday's 8-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings means, you might not like the answers.

Heading into Tuesday’s matchup with the Ducks, the Flames had 11 games to prove that Monday’s game was just a blip … “We were too slow and got outworked and that’s what happens.” They’re going to have to play desperate, though. On the flip side, they were four points back of the Winnipeg Jets for the Western Conference’s second wildcard position heading into Tuesday night’s games. There are rumours, sure, but the Flames themselves have remained adamant that everyone in the locker room believes in the team they’ve got. It just wasn’t a performance that a team with playoff aspirations should be putting out on the ice at this point in the year.
