Kings Burn The Flames


Luc Robitaille had two goals and Sean O'Donnell scored at 1:42 of overtime as the Los Angeles Kings beat the Calgary Flames 4-3 Monday night.

Fred Brathwaite made 39 saves for the Flames, but wasn't able to stop O'Donnell's fluke goal which gave the Kings their first overtime win of the season.

Ziggy Palffy passed the puck from behind the net into the slot, and O'Donnell's wrist shot deflected off the skate of Calgary's Clark Wilm and into the net. The goal was O'Donnell's second of the season.
