The LA Kings have allowed the first goal in ten of their 12 games this season. One of those was Tuesday night, when with less than two minutes gone, they were down to the San Jose Sharks in LA. They would end the period down by two.
The Tampa Bay Lightning didn’t throw a perfect gem in Friday night’s 3-1 conquest of the Detroit Red Wings, but they found ways to win their fourth game of the four-game home stand even when they didn’t have the crispness of the team that is now 7-1-1 over it’s first nine games.
