Brooks Laich scored 12 seconds into overtime after Alex Iafallo stole the puck from Nate Schmidt and the Los Angeles Kings ruined the Knights’ debut in T-Mobile Arena Tuesday, winning 3-2 in front of an announced crowd of 17,101.
Will Carrier had forced OT as his goal early in the third period got the Knights even.
The Kings, who for years played NHL preseason games in Las Vegas under the Frozen Fury banner, had played twice in T-Mobile Arena last fall. Despite using a younger lineup as many of the veterans remained in L.A. after the long trip back from China over the weekend, the Kings got great play in goal from Jack Campbell.
