Brian Elliott earns 11th straight win, ties Mike Vernon for club record
CALGARY — Johnny Gaudreau showed off a little bit of everything in his arsenal to lead the Calgary Flames to a 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday.
Gaudreau set up goals by Sean Monahan and Michael Stone to give the Flames an early lead, then scored the second of two Calgary goals 50 seconds apart early in the second period.
“For us here in our own building we wanted to get off to an early lead and play with the lead throughout the game,” said Gaudreau, who leads the Flames in scoring with 52 points (16 goals, 36 assists) in 62 games.
“We came out flying, had a couple big goals there, and played with the lead the rest of the game. It was a huge win for us.”
