They were previously shutout 5-0 two games in a row, and the Kings looked especially hungry to regain some momentum against the Panthers.
It was Miami Marlins Night at the BB&T Center, and a few members of the baseball team participated in the ceremonial puck dropping.
Jiggs McDonald called the game for the Kings tonight, returning for a special appearance as part of the team’s 50th anniversary celebration.
McDonald was the original voice of the Kings, and the 1990 Foster Hewitt Memorial Award winner holds the special distinction of calling the first preseason, regular season, and postseason game in franchise history.
