LA Kings game morning hangover recap, Kings beat Jets 2-1 in OT

As Los Angeles struggles to recover from a week marked by disaster, the LA Kings 2-1 overtime victory against the Jets in Winnipeg on Friday night offered a glimmer of hope to fans and the community.

Kings are locked in Given the five-day break from their last game, I wondered if we might see some lull in coming into Winnipeg.

Nope.

According to Natural Stat Trick, the Kings held the high-flying Jets offense to only three high-danger chances during 5-on-5 play their fewest in a home game this season.

Juice is LA Adrian Kempe wins the game with a snipe for his 20th of the season, then wins over Kings fans hearts.

Nobody has better cellys than Juice.

Shhhh.....

LA https://t.co/rUV8BY7fAI Adrian Kempe (@adriankempe) January 11, 2025 Two-way Q Seeing Quinton Byfield s defensive game step up playing as a center.

If he can become a shutdown option, thats a big boost for the team.

Get it together PP First of all, rough game for Kevin Fiala .

I counted at least five times a pass of his connected with a Jets defenders stick.

But the LA Kings are currently 28th in the NHL with a power play efficiency of only 15.5%.

That needs to improve.

*15.5% would be their lowest success rate since 2013-14...good sign? Top line Turc continues Feels like whenever the Kings need a big play lately Alex Turcotte is involved.

Fun to watch him thrive on the top line alongside Kopitar.

Hes worked hard to get to this point and its showing.

Dont overlook Darcy Among goaltenders with at least 20 games played, Darcy Kuemper ranks second in both save percentage (.921) and goals against average (2.16).

I wonder if Canada wishes theyd selected him for the upcoming 4Nations.

Carry the momentum into Calgary Right back at it tonight against the Flames in Calgary.

Every point feels crucial in this three-horse race with Vegas and Edmonton atop the Pacific Division.

Starting tomorrow, we will be hosting a Fire Relief Donation Drive at Toyota Sports Performance Center over the next two weeks.

? All items donated will be delivered to local YMCAs who are on the front lines distributing to those in need.
