What we learned from the Kings’ 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night at Staples Center.
The Kings’ third line has stepped up
The trio of Dustin Brown, Nic Dowd and Devin Setoguchi has been effective the past few games, providing a big lift to the Kings’ flagging offense. Setoguchi had a goal, Dowd had an assist and each member of the line was +1 defensively against Edmonton. Dowd, with seven assists, leads the team’s forwards in assists.
“I think it’s just we’re able to read off each other and check as a five-man unit when we’re on the ice,” Setoguchi said of their success.
