Coming off a solid 3-1 win over the Ducks, the Flyers went into Los Angeles with a little bit of momentum, but were ultimately squashed by a more-talented Kings team at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night. The Flyers received welcome signs from Matvei Michkov and Tyson Foerster, but a rough night from Alexsei Kolosov and a poor third period doomed the Flyers in a winnable game. With the loss, the Flyers end the season series with Los Angeles having dropped both games in regulation, and having lost four of their past five to the Kings.
