Your highly esteemed recapper watched this game feeling not so hot so this recap, unlike the second period, will be short and sweet.
In brief, here’s what happened:
Period 1
It was pretty back and forth until Anze Kopitar took a slashing penalty in the offensive zone and the penalty kill went to work, resulting in a Jacob Chychrun goal.
Period 2
The second period was much more “careful” and a bit more boring at first. Then, things got a little feisty.
The two teams showed their displeasure of each other!
