Playing the fifth of their seven-game road trip, the Kings were reunited with former teammates Mike Richards and Justin Williams for the first time since the two’s tenures with the organization came to a close at the end of last season.
Jonathan Quick returned to the Kings’ net after a three-game absence after suffering a lower body injury on February 9 in Boston.
There was no shortage of penalties called in the opening period, five total, three on the Kings. It was during their third penalty of the opening frame where the Kings connected for their first and only goal of the evening.
