The LA Kings picked up a much-needed two points in the standings with a 4-2 victory over the Golden Knights on Wednesday night.
The LA Kings topped their rivals to the east in the Vegas Golden Knights by a 4-2 final score, keeping their playoff hopes alive. At least for the moment.
The Kings jumped out to a 1-0 lead less than two minutes into the game, as Andreas Athanasiou led a partial breakaway and beat Vegas netminder Marc-Andre Fleury. Fast starts have been a point of emphasis, and much like the second game of the last Golden Knights’ series, the Kings looked poised to steal a game from Vegas, who just simply don’t lose at T-Mobile Arena.
