Calgary, AB (SportsNetwork. Weston Richburg Super Bowl Jersey .com) - Markus Granlund scored the game-winning goal as the Calgary Flames used an early offensive flurry to defeat the Los Angeles Kings, 2-1, on Monday. Curtis Glencross also scored, Jiri Hudler supplied two assists and Jonas Hiller turned aside 26 shots for the Flames, who have won three straight games. Any goalie playing with confidence you see poise in their game, Calgary head coach Bob Hartley said. Hes trusting his size. Hes not a goalie that overreacts on every play, on every shot. Tyler Toffoli supplied the Kings lone marker and Jonathan Quick made 13 saves in defeat. Usually we get a lot of shots from our defensemen, going into the third we had one, Los Angeles head coach Darryl Sutter said. They scored two goals in a minute. Calgary was victorious over Los Angeles on home ice during regulation for the first time since Oct. 10, 2010. The Flames scored twice during a 62-second span during the first period. Hudler was tightly defended in the slot, but sent a pass to a trailing Glencross, who beat Quick with a wrister at 12:13. Granlund finished off a tic-tac-toe passing play from Johnny Gaudreau and Hudler with a wrister into an open net at 13:15. Toffoli took a stretch pass from Dustin Brown in the neutral zone, broke in on a breakaway and finished the play with a slick backhander over Hillers glove to cut the deficit to 2-1 with 50.1 seconds remaining in the second. Los Angeles offense kept applying pressure, but Hiller extended his right pad to deny Toffoli of the equalizer with 15.4 seconds to play in the middle stanza. Hiller was solid during the third, making 10 saves and stopping multiple shots in the waning seconds after Los Angeles pulled its netminder.

Thats human nature, Williams said Sunday. You kick yourself any time it doesnt work. However, you have to put your guys in position to do their jobs and what they do. So that being said, I dont have a problem with it. It didnt work out. But weve got our best guy who is the closer coming in to pick up the guy that just gave us all he had for 8 2-3rds.Now, could you say that it was the wrong move? Of course you can. You could say that. Could you say it was the right move? Yes, you could say that, as well. It didnt work out. That being said, its, yeah, I kick myself for bringing Drew in and having him tie the game. Beyond that, we had nine more innings to win it. So thats how I look at it.The 96-win Nationals have relied on Storen to finish gaames since he became the regular closer in September when Williams went to a closer-by-committee system and demoted struggling Rafael Soriano. Tarvarius Moore Super Bowl Jersey. Storen had 11 saves and a 1.12 ERA in 65 games and 56 1-3 innings, and hadnt allowed an earned run in 23 appearances since Aug. 5.Williams pulled Zimmermann after a two-out walk to Joe Panik. At that point, Zimmermann was pitching a three-hitter and had a 1-0 lead.Buster Posey greeted Storen with a single and Pablo Sandoval followed with an RBI double. It was Storens first post-season appearances since he failed to hold a ninth-inning lead against St. Louis in the deciding Game 5 of the 2012 NLDS.Its all good. Another day. Its nothing new, really. Its just kind of part of it, Storen said Sunday. Its the same stuff weve dealt with all year. Its just a different piece of adversity, and its about coming back and playing our game.Its obviously not ideal to be down 2-0, but we havent lost hope and we know that we can come back and can do this. It just takes one inning, it takes one little thing. Thats the fun thing about playoff baseball, he said.Williams understands the questions surrounding his move, considering the Nationals are now playing to save their season on the road rather than looking to take the lead in the division series.Yeah, could it have been over if one of those two guys makes an out? Yeah, it would have been over, he said. ' ' '
