LOS ANGELES: Dennis Wideman scored 4:08 into overtime, and the Calgary Flames rallied past the Los Angeles Kings for their fourth straight victory, 2-1 Monday night.
Sean Monahan tied it with 6:05 left in regulation for the Flames, who are unbeaten on their five-game Pacific Division road trip. Joni Ortio stopped 33 shots in his fourth straight win as Calgary moved past Los Angeles into the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with the victory.
Matt Greene scored midway through the third period and Jonathan Quick made 22 saves for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who wrapped up their seven-game homestand with a dismal 1-2-4 record and dropped out of the playoff picture.
Wideman’s goal wasn’t confirmed until video review confirmed his shot had ricocheted off the camera inside the net.
Blues 3, Avalanche 1: Jaden Schwartz scored one goal and assisted on another to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.

Canucks 2, Panthers 1: The Vancouver Canucks won their third consecutive game, beating Florida 2-1 on the road as the Panthers lost their fourth straight.
