NHL: LOS ANGELES (2-5) at CALGARY (2-4) <h3>Flames look to reclaim home ice advantage vs. Kings</h3> Los Angeles (2-5-0) at Calgary (2-2-2) 9:00 pm EDT CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- Based off last season, the CalgaryFlames figured to get off to a decent start at home. However,things haven't exactly gone according to plan. The Flames look for their first home win of the season when theyhost the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday. Calgary, which led the NHL with 30 home wins last season, losteach of its first two home games against the Philadelphia Flyers -who finished last in the Eastern Conference in 2006 - and theVancouver Canucks. They look to end that mini-slide against theKings, who tied the Washington Capitals for the fewest roadwins in 2006 with 11. However, the Kings impressively downed the previously undefeatedMinnesota Wild to end a five-game losing streak on Tuesday athome, 4-3, in a shootout. History against Los Angeles is on the Flames' side, as Calgaryhas dominated the Kings lately, going 13-4-1 with two ties inthe last 20 meetings. Right wing Jarome Iginla has been at hisbest in that time, accounting for 27 points - 16 goals and 11assists - in those games. The Flames also would not mind continuing a season-long streakin which one player has recorded two goals in each contest. Los Angeles' centers Anze Kopitar and Michael Cammalleri haveplayed well in spite of the Kings' struggles, with each playerscoring eight points to lead the team. However, the play of goaltender Jean-Sebastien Aubin may be atleast a partial cure for the Kings' NHL-worst defense if he canrepeat his performance against Minnesota, as the former TorontoMaple Leaf netminder made 28 saves in his season debut againstthe Wild after missing the first six games due to a groininjury. Aubin's game was significant in the sense that after itsseason-opening win over the Anaheim Ducks in London on September29, Los Angeles had allowed at least four goals in every gameuntil Tuesday's triumph.
