LOS ANGELES -- The young Calgary Flames hung in with one of the NHLs best teams
until the last minute, when T.

.J. Brodie capitalized on the Los Angeles Kings final mistake. Brodie scored the
tiebreaking power-play goal with 29.7 seconds to play, and Calgary rallied for a
3-2 victory over the Kings on Monday night. He beat Conn Smythe Trophy winner
Jonathan Quick for his fifth career goal to cap an encouraging evening for the
Flames, who had lost on the first two California stops of their road trip.
Calgary was picked near the bottom of most Western Conference projections after
a thorough off-season overhaul, but the Flames had enough hustle and good
fortune to knock off the veteran Kings. "Real gutsy effort, and (we) scored
three goals on the power play," Calgary coach Bob Hartley said. "We knew coming
here that it would be physical, so there would be power plays on both sides, and
I think we won the special teams battle." The Flames got a power play with 2:12
left in regulation when Dennis Wideman fell to the ice near the benches, drawing
a hooking penalty on Anze Kopitar. With the man advantage nearly expired, Brodie
collected a bouncing pass from Jiri Hudler in the slot and beat Quick for
Calgarys third power-play goal of the night. "We want to jump up into the play
as much as possible, and if theres opportunities there, we want to take them,"
Brodie said. "The puck was bouncing, so I didnt want it to hop on me. I knew
Quick was down on the right side of the net, so I thought Id put it to the other
side where Huds was, just in case he stopped it and there was a rebound."
Mike Cammalleri scored in his season debut for the Flames, and rookie
Sean Monahan added another power-play goal in the second period. Karri Ramo
stopped 27 shots in his first victory for Calgary. Jeff Carter scored a tying
short-handed goal late in the second period for the Kings, who had won 17 of
their previous 19 home games. Quick made 22 saves, and Drew Doughty scored an
early power-play goal in just Los Angeles second loss in seven games. "I thought
we looked fatigued," Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter said. "Tonight was 10
(games) in 19 (days), and the other team was clearly fresher than ours. It made
a big difference." All five goals in the game were scored on special teams.
Calgarys league-worst penalty kill gave up another goal, while the Kings had one
of the NHLs best penalty-killing units before giving up three to the Flames. The
decisive penalty on Kopitar drew howls of disbelief from Staples Center fans,
who saw Wideman take a tumble on what appeared to be an innocent stick check.
But both Kopitar and Sutter blamed the Kings for a night full of bad decisions.
"Doesnt matter if it was a good or bad call," Kopitar said. "I shouldnt have put
my team in that position. ... Everything was off. We didnt play our game."
Calgary didnt record a shot on goal in the final 13:52 of a tentative first
period, and Los Angeles went ahead when Doughty put a wrist shot in the top
corner of Ramos net. Doughty has goals in back-to-back games after the $56
million defenceman went without a point for seven consecutive games. Cammalleri
evened it on a power play early in the second period, beating Quick after a
cross-ice pass from Hudler. Cammalleri, the Flames leading scorer last season,
sat out the first seven games of this year with an upper-body injury. Monahan
put the Flames ahead at the close of a sharp passing sequence for the Flames,
batting home a loose puck on another power play. The 19-year-old centre already
has six goals in his first eight NHL games since Calgary chose him with the
sixth overall pick this summer. The Kings evened it up with an impressive
short-handed rush from Carter, who took the puck at his blue line and fended off
Mark Giordano before throwing it at Mike Richards in front, where the puck
deflected off Widemans stick and beat Ramo. Carter, who led the Western
Conference with 26 goals last season, has five goals in another strong start for
the Kings. NOTES: Los Angeles D Robyn Regehr played his first 11 NHL seasons
with Calgary before getting traded to Buffalo in 2011. ... Hudler had two
assists. He has scored in each of the Flames eight games this season, the only
player in the NHL without a scoreless game yet this season. ... Ramo started his
second straight game despite giving up five goals in San Jose last Saturday.
Joey MacDonald is expected to start Tuesday in Phoenix. ... David and Victoria
Beckham were at the game with their children. Dodgers C Tim Federowicz and
"Parks and Recreation" star Retta also attended.

Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and
ready to be put on St. Louis World Series roster. "Im happy with where Im at,"
Craig said Sunday. "No complaints. Im happy to be on the roster and give it a
shot, so Im really excited." Craig hasnt played since Sept. 4 because a left
mid-foot sprain. He anticipates being the designated hitter in Wednesday nights
Series opener at the Boston Red Sox. "I think all indications are pointing that
way," Craig said. "I havent been told, Hey, youre on the roster, but given my
progress, I think Im in a good spot." Its basically a no-lose proposition
because the Cardinals could replace Craig if he re-injured the foot. General
manager John Mozeliak said doctors believe Craig is progressed to the point hes
not risking a major setback. "Hes such a prolific hitter its defiinitely worth
the chance," Mozeliak said.

is hes swinging the bat pretty well. If nothing else, he adds a little pop off
that bench." St. Louis worked out at Busch Stadium, two days after beating the
Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL pennant Craig hasnt tested the foot on defence
