The blade end of the stick that Drew Doughty two-hand smashed into the crossbar sat in front of the Kings’ net as the Pittsburgh Penguins celebrated. Jonathan Quick made his way to the bench fuming.
Doughty paced in a vacant corridor of PPG Paints Arena postgame, presumably trying to maintain himself. In the Kings’ dressing room, Quick let expletives fly when asked about the strong effort the Kings put on late Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Tyler Toffoli ended his 15-game scoring slump, only to have it overturned on an offside call, and was denied on a breakaway in overtime.
