Los Angeles Kings secure first season win against Washington Capitals
The Los Angeles Kings earned their first victory of the season by defeating the Washington Capitals 5-2 on Tuesday night at Capital One Arena. After trailing 2-0 in the first period following goals by Ryan Leonard and Cole Hutson, the Kings rallied to score five unanswered goals.
Adrian Kempe led the offensive effort with two goals, while Artemi Panarin, Erik Gustafsson, and Scott Laughton also scored for Los Angeles. The Kings' comeback began late in the first period with quick goals from Kempe and Panarin, followed by a third-period power-play goal from Gustafsson that gave the Kings the lead.
Despite the win, the Kings lost second-line center Quinton Byfield to an upper-body injury during the first period. The victory improves the Kings' record to 1-4-2.
