The Los Angeles Kings fell to the Vegas Golden Knights yesterday, losing 5-1.
The Kings started slow, with only a single shot through the first half of the frame, but they did come alive later and started to generate some chances off the rush. However, Evgenii Dadonov opened the scoring with under two minutes to go in the period off a wraparound, sending Vegas to the intermission up by one.
Then only a minute into the second period, Jack Eichel got a great pass out front to Chandler Stephenson, who scored to increase the lead. While Phillip Danault did bury a puck in front to cut the lead to one, Mattias Janmark scored on a rebound later to put Vegas back ahead by two after 40 minutes.
Los Angeles put together a great third period effort, outshooting Vegas 19-4 in an attempt to get back into the game. However, they couldn’t beat Logan Thompson and a late empty net goal from Alex Pietrangelo, followed by another goal from Michael Amadio after that, gave Vegas the 5-1 win.
The Kings didn’t have a poor effort, outshooting Vegas 39-24, but they couldn’t capitalize on their chances. They put together a great third period and again, they’re missing a ton of players from their lineup.
KINGS SIGN TAYLOR WARD
The Kings also announced yesterday that they’ve signed forward Taylor Ward to an entry-level contract for the 2022-23 season, which carries a $842,500 cap hit.
Ward is 23 years old and has spent the last four seasons playing in the NCAA with the University of Nebraska-Omaha. This season, Ward had 19 goals and 39 points in 38 games.
