The result was not a lot of legs left for Game 61, a 2-0 loss at Staples Center. The Kings were shut out without much resistance, just 18 shots that goalie Kari Lehtonen saved, while Jonathan Quick's 26 saves went for nothing.
Tobias Rieder has legs. Rieder was a bright spot in his Kings debut as third-line left wing. He closed quickly on pucks and moved into spaces with the speed that made the Kings trade for him. Though not a household hockey name, Rieder's new teammates were aware of him and what he brings.
"It's nice he's on our team as opposed to coming against us, because you saw some flashes tonight where he takes off," Jake Muzzin said.
