Monahan’s OT goal puts Flames past Kings 4-3 in Jagr’s debut
LOS ANGELES — Jaromir Jagr was already in his eighth NHL season when Matthew Tkachuk was born in 1997, and the 45-year-old star felt all of those extra years when he began his 24th season in the league with the Calgary Flames.
His new teenage teammate played a major role in getting him a win.
Tkachuk scored two goals before Sean Monahan got the winner 1:02 into overtime during the Flames’ 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night.
The second-leading scorer in league history nearly scored on his opening shift of a solid debut with the Flames, his ninth NHL team.
