Cam Talbot, Adrian Kempe & Arthur Kaliyev 11/04/23 Post-Game Quotes:
Cam Talbot
On getting his first shutout as a member of the Kings, and another victory
You know, the win is what’s really important but shutout is always just an added bonus as far as I’m concerned. Guys did a great job of locking down the third period there, didn’t give them anything really, and managed the game really well, so it’s just a byproduct of that.
On his thoughts after the Kings took that 2-0 lead with two consecutive goals
They’re a dangerous group, so two goals early on, it’s not unattainable for them to come back. We knew that we had to continue playing our game and knew that it wasn’t over in the first 10 minutes. We did a great job of establishing our game all night and didn’t really give them much.
On a perfect night for the penalty kill
Yeah, they’re clicking huge, it’s always so easy to read off, when everyone’s on the same page and everyone’s doing their job. Obviously they’ve still got one extra guy, so they’re going to create some chances, but we did a great job of limiting their second chances tonight. Going perfect on the kill was a big part of this game.
Adrian Kempe
On getting another goal tonight, after an assist-fueled start to the season
I think for me, I’ve always been a shooter and I think I still have some of the most shots on the team, so I’ve tried to still score as much as I can. When I have a chance to pass it to one of my teammates, I try to do that too and obviously I’ve get been getting some assists this year too, it’s nice for me to get those for sure. I’m just trying to still play the same way I have been and Kopi’s off to a hot start, so I’ve just to keep passing it to him.
On getting another big win away from home
They had some chances, obviously, I think Talbs played great tonight again, so that’s a good sign for us. At the end of the night, I think we managed the game pretty well, obviously we scored five, so that’s a good sign and we’ve just got to keep that going.
On Quinton Byfield’s game and his continued evolution offensively
I think he’s been doing it all year and all last year, at least when he played with us, that’s what I was feeling. He wins a ton of battles down low, against the big d-men, which shows that he’s using his body really well. Going back to last year, we had a ton of chances and he didn’t really get the points that he deserved, so those are showing up a little bit more this year. I think everybody’s really happy for him.
Arthur Kaliyev
On what he liked most about the way the Kings played tonight, especially at 5-on-5
Yeah, we just had a good push at the start, that kept them in the zone, kept a couple of pucks alive, we got shots to the net from the point and from the forwards. A couple of good tips in the first, that got it going good.
On the balance the Kings are striking right now with four solid lines
Yeah, I think we’re playing really confident and every guy’s willing to give in. We just got to keep it consistent every night and keep going the same way that we have been over these last couple of games, like we have been on this stretch.
On his goal and Quinton Byfield’s work to get it over to him
It was kind of a broken play there, it wasn’t really set up, but I think he worked hard for that puck, he won a couple of battles. I just got the puck on my stick and just ripped it.

**Tonight’s Poll Question**
At what time of tonight's game will Anze Kopitar get his 400th NHL goal?
Use the ____min:___sec of the ___ period (1,2,3, OT) format.
You can take 4 guesses.
+/- 2:00 = 1 point, +/- 1:00 = 2 points, +/- :30 = 3 points
You may also guess "Kopi will not score tonight" as one of your guesses for 1 point.
A shootout goal will not count in his goal totals, so that is not an option.
Take your best guesses in your post below -
the only Prize is the glory of seeing your name in the next GDT if you get it right.
