Sun Jan 12 05:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Kings and Flames Face Off in Postponed Matchup

**Los Angeles, CA** – The Los Angeles Kings and the Calgary Flames will finally clash tonight at 7:05 PM PST, in a game rescheduled after a postponement due to wildfires. The game, originally slated for January 8th, marks the second of three meetings between the two teams this season.

The Kings enter the game on the heels of a 2-1 overtime victory against the Winnipeg Jets. They boast a strong 5-1-0 record in the second game of back-to-back matchups this season. Their goaltending situation remains a point of interest, with coach Jim Hiller known for his strategic lineup choices, including his decision on whether to start Darcy Kuemper (currently 8-0-2 in his last 10 games, a franchise feat) for a second consecutive night. Kuemper’s recent success makes him a strong contender, despite the presence of David Rittich, a former Flame.

The Flames, with a 5-3-2 record in their last ten games, will look to Jonathan Huberdeau for offensive firepower. Huberdeau, currently leading the team in points (30) and goals (17), is showing renewed scoring prowess after a trade from the Florida Panthers. He’s on pace for a 35-goal season.

Meanwhile, the Kings will rely on the hot stick of Adrian Kempe, who carries a four-game goal streak and leads the team in goals (20).

The game will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network and can be heard live on the ESPN LA app. The Kings organization also offered condolences to FanDuel Sports Network host Patrick O’Neal and his family, affected by the recent wildfires.
