Earlier in the evening, the Kings had been up by three goals, only to let the Calgary Flames come all the way back and force overtime. Throughout the game, Doughty had been jeered by the Scotiabank Saddledome crowd, treatment befitting of his status as the foil to Flames star Matthew Tkachuk. Long before Doughty’s goal, the Kings opened the game with a 25-minute exhibition of McLellan’s preferred style of play. A Kovalchuk defensive-zone turnover led to a Flames shot from the point that skipped just wide of the net. Fittingly, it was Tkachuk who tied the game, burying a loose puck in front of the net with 1:04 remaining.
