Greenville Swamp Rabbits News Release
LA KINGS
17-12-5 | 2nd in Pacific
Last week, the Kings faced off against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday on the road to open the week's slate. After two scoreless periods, the Sabres opened the floodgates in the final frame. Tage Thompson scored twice in the period, and Buffalo would go on to score six goals in the final twenty minutes, while shutting out the Kings. Sabres goaltender Craig Anderson stopped 40 shots, while earning his first shutout in nearly four years.
On Thursday night, in a highly anticipated matchup, the Kings took on the Boston Bruins at the TD Garden. After trailing by two goals after the first forty minutes, Adrian Kempe scored two goals, both assisted by Kevin Fiala, in the third to tie the game. In overtime, both teams could not find the back of the net and settled for a shootout. The winning shootout goal was scored by Trevor Moore, which gave Los Angeles the win over Boston, who has the best record in all the NHL.
Facing off against the San Jose Sharks at home on Saturday, the Kings would once again win in the shootout 3-2, as Trevor Moore played hero once again. Moore's shootout goal would lead the Kings to victory for second straight night.
The Kings start a new week of games tonight, as they drop the puck against the Anaheim Ducks in LA. This will begin a week that consists of three total games.
