Adrian Kempe scored for the Kings, and Darcy Kuemper made 36 saves. Los Angeles played its 14th game decided in overtime or a shootout out of 21 total one-goal contests this season.
The Kings got off to a strong start with Kempe netting his fourth goal in the past seven games on a one-timer midway through the first period. He has two goals and five points during a four-game streak.
But the Flames responded with a dominant second period, posting a 17-4 advantage in shots, and finally breaking through when Coleman picked off Kevin Fiala’s pass and raced the other way on a breakaway before burying a wrist shot from the slot. It was Coleman’s third short-handed goal of the season and Calgary’s fifth.
