Working on your birthday is a chore at the best of times.
For Jason LaBarbera, it became a night he'd rather to forget.
The Calgary Flames, though, did manage to get him a gift: Front row seats to the third period.
The Flames spoiled the Los Angeles goaltender's 28th birthday, piling up five goals over two periods during a 6-1 win over the Kings at the Saddledome last night to claim top spot in the Northwest Division.
LaBarbera, who calls Calgary his home in the off-season, was replaced by Jean-Sebastien Aubin for the third.
