Final: Kings 4 – Coyotes 2

Anze Kopitar scored two goals, while Jeff Carter and Jake Muzzin also lit the lamp, as the Kings ended their road trip with a 4-2 win at Phoenix Saturday.

The Kings led 3-1 heading into the third period, but Shane Doan cut the deficit to one 22 seconds into the frame.  Muzzin, however, regained LA’s two-goal cushion and made it 4-2 with his first career NHL goal at 8:35.  Kyle Clifford earned an assist to extend his point streak to four games.

Kopitar gave the Kings a 1-0 lead 1:04 into the second period, connecting with Dustin Brown.  It was both Kopitar’s and Brown’s first point of the season.  Phoenix was awarded a long two-man advantage minutes later and capitalized, as Mikkel Boedker tied the game at 3:57.  But Kopitar quickly answered at 5:08 with his second of the night (and season).  Carter made it a two-goal game at 11:33 with his second of the season.

Teams skated to a scoreless first period, though the Kings had the best chance with a full two-minute five-on-three power play.  The Coyotes had two power play opportunities of their own, but couldn’t convert either.

Goaltending match-up: Jonathan Quick vs. Jason LaBarbera
Scratches: Kings (Bodnarchuk, Penner, Richardson), Coyotes (Bissonnette, Klesla, Rundblad, Torres, Smith)

Power Plays:
Kings: 0-for-4
Coyotes: 1-for-6

  1. At least the Kings haven’t given up any power-play goal so far.

    I still wish Doan was playing for the Kings, love to see him on a line with Clifford.

    Since he is not, I would love to see Brown drop the gloves with Shane to get the spark going on the Kings bench! Get the spark going under Brown’s backside too.

    [Reply]

    Osaka Reply:

    @goldielocks, It isn’t a big deal to me because of his age and he has played 3 games in the league. It was a big goal with just seconds left after a goal was disallowed. That being said, save that stuff for the playoffs. Act like you scored before and you will score again. Don’t act like a European soccer players.

    @Spencer Maze,

    Yes, yes he is. Doan is an expert at the cheap shot (not obvious like Torres). The way he finished the hit on Brown was a slew foot with a dangerous throw to the ice. Richards saw it, because Doan did something similar to Richards after a face off early in the playoff series last season.

    And all you Doan defenders, I suppose you enjoyed that last big swing Doan took after Richards was already down on the ice. POS is too kind.

    Anyone else ever notice how Justin Williams likes to go in and get kicked out of faceoffs right after his line is called for icing? Sneaky.

    @Duncanz, this is a crazy statement, how could anyone cheer against any King with positive results……

    where does this come from????
    crazy

    Duncanz Reply:

    @harty, Ha ha, well superstitiously speaking that migh’ve been true – but I just noticed Cliffy got an assist on the Muzzin goal so I can happily take it all back now.
    Go Cliffy, Kings talisman!

    Finally! way to shove the SC ring in those dirty dogs faces, now show the ginger girls and those ugly green boogers what a SC team looks like.

    @LVKINGS88, expect a ton of pp chances for the Nuks.

  276. hbjohn says:

    Clifford is starting to break out as a true power foward. Those of you who have really followed this kid and not just with the LA Kings, knows he can become the Clowe of LA. He has the skill and the toughness to bring us back to the day of the true power forward. Hopefully he stays on the 2nd line and has his break out year.

    The team is getting back to form. Closing gaps right away
    Getting in puck carrier’s face as soon as he gets the pass.

    It’s 2 points, and the elimination of self-doubts. Team confidence builder.
    And 4 goals! We don’t need to turn to Angie’s List for a goal scorer.
