KINGS ( 39- 26- 15) AT FLAMES ( 43- 29- 7)
7 p. m. Scotiabank Saddledome Flames player to watch G Jonas Hiller — The group in front of him needs his best game of the season. And then, they’ll need another one on Saturday night versus the Winnipeg Jets. Can’t afford to allow any softies or miscalculations. Has won four of the past five games in net, including his fill- in job for the injured Karri Ramo against the Edmonton Oilers. Injuries D Mark Giordano ( biceps), D Ladislav Smid ( neck), D Raphael Diaz ( knee), G Karri Ramo ( lower body) Kings player to watch D Drew Doughty — Always a force, always tough to play against, and always the Kings’ ‘ X’ factor. Chips in with a power- play goal in the third period on Tuesday versus the Oilers, his seventh goal of the year. Injuries LW Tanner Pearson ( broken leg), D Andrej Sekera ( lower- body)
