Recap, Los Angeles Kings @ Tampa Bay Lightning: Half-Full or Half-Empty?

IF YOUR GLASS IS HALF-EMPTY, READ THE FOLLOWING RECAP.

The Kings went into Tampa last night and lost 5-0. There isn’t a lot of good that can be taken from a game like this, so let’s tell you why you should be concerned.

The first period saw the Kings get 19 shots saved by Ben Bishop, and their early efforts went to waste when Drew Doughty hooked Tyler Johnson; a 4-on-4 resulted, but the open ice gave Tampa Bay a chance to open things up. Jake Muzzin overcommitted in the offensive zone, and Jonathan Drouin went the other way.
