Joey MacDonald stopped 19 shots for the Flames, who got outscored 13-3 while losing all three games of their Southern California road trip.

Bruins 3, Senators 2 • In Ottawa, Ontario, David Krejci scored the shootout winner and had an assist in regulation as Boston defeated Ottawa.

Yuuka Rask made 30 saves in regulation and stopped three of four Senators in the shootout, including a bizarre attempt from Kaspars Daugavins. The Ottawa forward carried the puck by pressing down with the tip of his stick before attempting a failed 360 move in front of Rask.
