Games against the Los Angeles Kings can be maddening.
Slower pace. A stingy, physical opponent. Little room to operate. Mix in some really good goaltending, which Jonathan Quick provided, and you get a recipe for disaster.
Apparently nobody told the Penguins.
They continued their terrific run at home — and so far in 2018 — by sticking with it and showing the patience necessary to beat the Kings, 3-1, on Thursday at PPG Paints Arena.
It was the Penguins’ 10th consecutive victory on home ice and raised their record at PPG Paints Arena to 22-7-1 this season.
