LOS ANGELES—Viktor Arvidsson scored two goals and the Los Angeles Kings clinched a Stanley Cup playoff berth Thursday night with a 4–1 victory over the Calgary Flames.
Kevin Fiala and Akil Thomas also scored in a workmanlike win for the Kings, who will be in the postseason for the third consecutive spring. Los Angeles lost to Edmonton in the first round in both of the previous trips, and a third straight matchup is possible with the Kings currently sitting third in the NHL’s Pacific Division, right behind the second-place Oilers.
