The Kings are 0-4-1 in the second of successive games this season.

Flame update--After 20 games, Calgary was tied with San Jose as the most improved team in the NHL with a 9-9-2 record, a 10-point improvement over last season’s first 20 games. Since then, however, the Flames have lost four games in a row, including successive losses to Edmonton. On Tuesday, the Oilers crushed Calgary, 10-1. Rookie Sasha Lakovic will not play after being suspended for two games without pay and fined $1,000 for trying to jump into the stands to aid assistant coach Guy Lapointe, who had a drink and a bag of popcorn poured on his head during Saturday’s game at Edmonton.
