• Calgary rested six regulars but did not miss a beat in steamrolling Los Angeles 7-2 on Monday night to reach 50 wins for the second time in franchise history. Derek Ryan scored twice and James Neal, in his sixth game since sitting out more than a month, scored one goal and set up another to extend his point streak to three games. “This is the best time of the year,” Neal said. “The team has been unbelievable all year. Proud of the way our guys have played. We’re going to have a great playoff run, so I’m excited for that.”

• Rickard Rakell has been among the major offensive disappointments for Anaheim, but he is closing the season on a high note with seven goals in five games after registering a natural hat trick in Saturday’s 5-1 rout of Edmonton. “It’s not just the goal scoring,” linemate Jakob Silfverberg of Rakell. “He’s more involved all over the ice. He has the puck a lot, and that’s when he’s at his best. He’s been getting some bounces and putting some nice ones in.” Rakell needs two more goals to reach 20 for the fourth straight season.

• Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau has points in four straight games and needs three more to reach 100 for the first time.
