The L.A. Kings controlled most of the play in this game, but they fell into a bit of a shell in the third period and the Ottawa Senators made them pay, eventually scoring the winning goal with just 6.5 seconds left on the clock.
Tonight’s game featured the semi-annual battle between Flashy European Erik Karlsson and Greatest Defenceman Alive [Cherry, LeBrun, Poulin et al. (2016)] Drew Doughty. This game didn’t quite have the hype of last year, likely because Karlsson/Doughty became the dominant storyline down the stretch, while this year we haven’t even played a month of hockey yet.
