LOS ANGELES (AP) — Calgary Flames goalie David Rittich was more than happy to share the credit after getting his first career shutout.It was a perfectly reasonable position from Rittich after seeing the hard work put in on both ends of the ice by defenseman Travis Hamonic and the Flames.Rittich stopped 21 shots and Hamonic scored to help the Flames to a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night.“I get a shutout Adidas Matt Hunwick Jersey , but they didn’t have too much because our team played pretty good,” said Rittich, who has won three straight starts and five of his past six. “I have to say thank you to the locker room because they played really good.”The Flames have won five of their past six games.Jack Campbell made 35 saves for the Kings, who have been held to one goal or fewer in six of their first 16 games.The Flames went in front 2:26 into the first period. Hamonic got his second goal, with Garnet Hathaway setting a screen that kept Campbell from seeing the shot to the far post. Austin Czarnik and Noah Hanifin had assists, with Hanifin picking up his third in the past four games.“I mean, I don’t score much, so it was nice. A bonus Adidas Jeff Skinner Jersey ,” Hamonic said. “Glad to help the team out that way, but I thought defensively our group collectively was really good.”Hamonic also played his part to help smother the Kings’ floundering offense. He used his body to break up a pass by Ilya Kovalchuk during an odd-man rush in the second period, when the Kings managed four shots on goal.Hamonic also disrupted a breakaway by Tanner Pearson on the power play in the third period, coming up from behind to delay Pearson from shooting and allowing Rittich to make the save when Pearson did put the puck on goal.“I think he was the most noticeable guy either way on either team,” Flames coach Bill Peters said of Hamonic. “He just found a way to be involved in the game.”The Kings struggled to create chances on a consistent basis, continuing a recurring theme this season. Even when Jeff Carter won an offensive-zone face-off with 44 seconds remaining and Campbell pulled for an extra attacker, the Kings still could not beat Rittich.“We’re getting some shots, but not the shots we want Adidas Tage Thompson Jersey ,” Kings forward Alex Iafallo said. “We need to get that passion back, that hunger to get to the soft areas and keep making plays.”After beating the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 on Tuesday in coach Willie Desjardins’ debut with the team, the Kings have lost two straight and scored one goal each in defeats against the Minnesota Wild and Flames.Desjardins said the Kings would have to be more aggressive on offense, even if it meant getting away from the sound defensive structure that has been the team’s identity this decade.“I think that’s the way they have always won, so I think some of the top guys think a little bit more defensively,” Desjardins said. “The guys on the other side, (Flames forward Johnny) Gaudreau, (Sean) Monahan Adidas Rasmus Andersson Jersey , they are always thinking offense. Saying that, I think we have to create some systems that are going to get guys more involved. We got to force ourselves to get up ice and play more aggressive and play more offensive.”NOTES: The Kings are 1-8-1 when allowing the first goal this season. … Kings C Michael Amadio returned to the lineup after not playing since Oct. 25. Amadio was a healthy scratch for the previous three games following a stint in the AHL. … Flames F Elias Lindholm had his point streak end after six games. He had three goals and six assists during that span.UP NEXTFlames: Wrap up their three-game California road trip at San Jose on Sunday.Kings: Conclude their seven-game homestand by hosting Toronto on Tuesday. NEW YORK — Everyone knew things would be different for the New York Islanders after the departure of generational talent John Tavares. But few people expected the difference to manifest itself in a potentially record-setting start for the Islanders, who will look to remain perfect in the Metropolitan Division when they host the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night at Barclays Center.The Islanders extended their winning streak to four games Thursday night when they moved into a tie for first place in the Metropolitan with a 3-2 shootout win over the other first-place occupant, the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Devils suffered their second straight loss Thursday night, falling to the host Detroit Red Wings 4-3.The winning streak for the Islanders (7-4-1) has come entirely against Metropolitan opponents. New York is 5-0-0 in the Metropolitan this season, the franchise’s best start against divisional rivals since it opened the 1982-83 season 6-0-0 (wins-losses-ties) in the Patrick Division.Article continues below ...That team won the last of the Islanders’ four straight Stanley Cups. It’s a little early to ascribe such lofty goals to this year’s squad, but the spate of divisional wins — including back-to-back wins over the Penguins, whom New York beat 6-3 in Pittsburgh on Tuesday — has provided a much-needed confidence boost.“Any time you put a few wins together Adidas Dalton Prout Jersey , the feeling gets really good in the room,” Islanders center and captain Anders Lee told reporters Thursday night. Lee replaced Tavares as captain after Tavares signed as a free agent with the Toronto Maple Leafs on July 1.“That energy is there. We’re playing good hockey against some good teams. They’ve set the standard the last few years and to get a couple wins — obviously just a shootout (Thursday) — but (they are) huge points for us.”The Devils (5-4-1) got off to their own fast start but are just 1-4-1 since opening 4-0-0. New Jersey, which allowed just four goals in the first four games, has been outscored 28-17 in the last six games, during which it has given up four or more goals five times.The Devils were particularly discouraged Thursday night when they gave up two power play goals and two short-handed goals against the Red Wings.“Gave up two short-handers and didn’t get stops on the (penalty kill),” Devils coach John Hynes told reporters afterward. “So there’s the difference.”The Islanders’ Thomas Greiss and the Devils’ Cory Schneider, each of whom started Thursday night, are likely to start again Saturday.Greiss picked up the win against the Penguins by making 29 saves Adidas Derek Ryan Jersey , including a spectacular stop on a Sidney Crosby breakaway in overtime on which Greiss exited the crease and lunged to poke the puck away from Crosby. Greiss was starting in place of Robin Lehner, who suffered back spasms Tuesday and returned to practice Friday.Schneider took the loss after making 27 saves in his first start of the season. He missed the first eight games recovering from May hip surgery.“I didn’t really feel any limitations physically,” Schneider told reporters Thursday night. “I was able to move freely and all that stuff.”Greiss is 2-4-0 in six career games against the Devils. Schneider is 3-5-2 in 10 appearances against the Islanders.
