Exhibition game: Penguins 3, Kings 2 (FINAL, SO)

Here’s how tonight’s game went in Kansas City between the Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins, a 3-2 shootout loss for the Kings.

SHOOTOUT
In goal: It’s still Bernier vs. Fleury.

Kings: Johnson, save.
Penguins: Malkin, GOAL.
Kings: Richards, save.
Penguins: Kennedy, off post.
Kings: Stoll, GOAL.
Penguins: Letestu, save.
Kings: Brown, save.
Penguins: Neal, wide.
Kings: Williams, save.
Penguins: Kunitz, save.
Kings: Penner, save.
Penguins: Staal, save.
Kings: Hunter, save.
Penguins: Park, save.
Kings: Lewis, save.
Penguins: Niskanen, GOAL.

OVERTIME
In goal: It’s still Bernier vs. Fleury.
End of period: Shots were 41-21 in the game in favor of Pittsburgh as we head to a shootout. The Penguins had a power play in the final 27 seconds but couldn’t score.

THIRD PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Bernier vs. Fleury.
Kings 1, Penguins 1: The Penguins beat Bernier for the first time 3:45 into the third period, when Deryk Engelland took a pass in open ice on the right side and beat Bernier with a sharp wrist shot. Assists went to Joe Morrow and Eric Tangradi.
Penguins 2, Kings 1: The Kings killed all of a Pittsburgh 5-on-3 advantage for 1:43, but the Penguins took the lead seven seconds after it ended with an even-strength goal. Chris Kunitz crashed the net and tapped in a centering pass from Tyler Kennedy. The goal came 9:07 into the third period, at which point the Kings had still not recorded a shot on goal.
Kings 2, Penguins 2: On the Kings’ third shot on goal of the period, they tied the game with 6:17 remaining in regulation. With Trent Hunter running traffic in front of Fleury, Jarret Stoll shot from the outside of the right faceoff circle. The rebound kicked left, to Alec Martinez, who pinched down and scored before Fleury could scramble right. The goal came with two seconds remaining on a power play, and Justin Williams also got an assist.
End of period: The game heads to overtime after a third period in which the Penguins outshot the Kings 15-3.

SECOND PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Bernier vs. Fleury.
End of period: The Penguins outshot the Kings 12-6 in the period, and shots are 21-16 in favor of Pittsburgh through two periods. The game was penalty-free until 2:54 remained in the period, when Jordan Nolan got called for an obvious cross-check. Think the referees have an early-morning flight? Bernier has been very strong in this game, as the Kings’ defense got loose in this period.

FIRST PERIOD
In goal: It’s the Kings’ Jonathan Bernier against the Penguins’ Marc-Andre Fleury.
Kings 1, Penguins 0: The Kings took a 1-0 lead 4:31 into the first period. Alec Martinez’s point shot got deflected on its way to the net, and Jarret Stoll crashed the net from the right side to knock the puck in before Fleury could recover. Dustin Brown also got an assist.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Penguins 10-9 in a penalty-free first period. First sign you know you’re in a non-hockey market? The puck goes into the netting and the PA announcer says, “Puck out of play.” Thanks. And, wherever you are in the world, if you open your window/door after a goal, you’ll hear the horn. The Kings did a good job of getting pucks to the net throughout the period, and the teams had some entertaining end-to-end play at times.

    Do any of you think Voynov is getting in better shape then Drew? Why isn’t $6.8 mill enough for a 21 yr old that never went to college? Why are the agents trying to out do one another at the expense of a young man’s career and the fan who saves his hard earned money to take his family to a game he loves the most? Makes me sad and angry at the same time. Life can be short people. What are you waiting for…truly makes me sad for Drew and his future. Agents are annoying.

  10. OldKingsFan67 says:

    It the number of years. Doughty wants 5 or less and the want 7 or more. To reinforce that Doughty had stated ” It is not about the momey.” He wants UFA status.

    [Reply]

    vplaza Reply:

    @OldKingsFan67,

    Actually, Kings have offered 6 years.

    And UFA status is about money. I mean, if he said he wanted to be a King for life, why want to be a UFA sooner rather than later? Money.

    It surprises me how many people buy that line from DD. When you think about it, if it’s not about the money, why want to be a UFA soon? To be able to go to another team? If that’s the case, then he lied about wanting to be a King for life.

    A player who isn’t about the money is one willing to take less, like the Angel player. Or even the Quack who did the right thing last year.

    Rich Hammond Reply:

    Just to be clear, I did not say they are currently flexible on years. I said that in previous talks, they’ve been consistent on the money but talked about different year options (meaning long-term, seven-plus). Not trying to be nit-picky, just saying it because this is one way bad rumors get started.

    Rich, based on that, were the reports that the Kings offered 6-8 years inaccurate?

    KC23 Reply:

    @vplaza, Never heard anything less than 7 years from the Kings.

    vplaza Reply:

    @vplaza,

    Ok, so this report from Helene is inaccurate?

    “The Kings have offered Doughty up to nine years at an average annual value of $6.8 million but he indicated he doesn’t want to sign for that long and give up several years of unrestricted free agency. Doughty also rejected offers of six to eight years. He remained home in London, Canada, while the Kings prepared to start exhibition play with a pair of split-squad games against the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday”

    @Jefreyryan, League is sayign they can’t confirm what was said and by whom so they can do nothing. Players basically taking Simmonds side for the most part by stating what is said on the ice should stay on the ice.

    Avery is such a tool.

    [Reply]

    bonvivant1 Reply:

    @KC23, Simmonds was an unknown quantity to most other markets the last two years. Two weeks into preseason Hockey he is a household name. Wow! The L.A. hockey market is so insignificant as far as the rest of the country is concerned. Maybe this is an underlying issue keeping Doughty from signing with the Kings. L.A. is of no consequence. We have a good team and we could win the Stanley Cup but it only matters to us. The rest of the world could care less.

    [Reply]

    King Cobra Reply:

    @bonvivant1, The 2 reasons the media is talking about Simmer are getting a banana thrown at him and calling Avery a f@g. Not exactly the press he wants I think.

    Win or lose, sounded like fun. Work on the PP, the offense and the shots on goal and we’ll be fine… Thanks for a good ‘ole time!

    Brownkingsfan Reply:

    @jkking, Except for the fact that he lost, and he lost in a SO, something Quick didn’t do at all last year. Going back to last year, Bernier is 0-3 in SO. I realize Bernier faced a lot of shots, but so does Quick. I don’t get the Bernier obsession. I like him, but people act like he’s the second coming.

    [Reply]

    Kingsfanone Reply:

    @Brownkingsfan,

    He is the second coming. That’s why he’s Quick’s backup.

    Jus’ sayin.

  188. kingszzz says:

    Even in pre-season, the Red Wings would never be out shot 41-21. Just shows how long a road we have to go yet before this team matures into a championship caliber team. Perhaps it’s coaching but there’s no excuse for that.

  197. KingMe20 says:

    Yeah, not about to panic over another preseason effort that comes up short (especially when the lineup isn’t the typical lineup), but I just wonder how long this lack of scoring is going to last. Four games, seven goals. That’s not great. And the start of the third was pretty horrendous in terms of shots for and against. With the exception of the first period in the home game against Phoenix, the hard work hasn’t been there yet in any game (especially in the Ducks game). It just feels like they’re just kind of going through the motions right now.

    Again, not going to panic, but these are troubling things we’re seeing. I’d like to see them use these last few games to iron that out so they can hit the start of the season on a positive streak.

    @KingMe20, I’m not in panic mode yet either Murry is taking a hard look at who he thinks he is going to be working with during the regular season.I think that is why he did not use lokti or Voynov(Sp) during the shootout.

    In completely unrelated news, I just booked my trip officially to LA for the Suite Nnight (weekend)

    @Puck73 and I are going to the 2nd half of the home and home series between the Kings and ducks on Thursday. Would love it if some of you guys (and girls) can make it.

    We’ll see most of you on Saturday at the Staples Center though!

  202. kings king says:

    Martinez’s goal sounds sick! With the way Malkin is playing this wasn’t too bad a game. This definitely wasn’t the strongest roster, but the Kings can’t be going 9-10 minutes without a shot on goal. That trend needs to stop here and now. If I were Murray I’d be upset that habit is carrying through to this season. Gotta get the system down I guess. GKG!
