***LA Kings @ Minnesota Wild GDT 3/17/25 5:00pm on FanDuel***

[JC6388LAKings]

First penalty against LA. DD going to the box for a cross-check. Kill this one, LA.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

And just like that, the game is tied after the Wild won the draw. A high-slot tip resulted in the puck going into the LA net. Now it's 1-1.

 

[Nyssa42]

awwww, well it was a great run, Darcy! Drew owes you a steak dinner

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Good block there by Ferry.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

That was a nice pass by Clarke to TO and then TO fed him back the puck for a SOG attempt. Though Gustavsson made a save.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Now a too many men penalty against Minnesota. Come on, LA, regain the lead here.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

LA now 1 for 2 on the PP. You Kings always keep getting predictable when you're on the PP. This has got to stop. Get more shoot-happy than pass-happy; stop being afraid to shoot to puck and minimize looking for the perfect shot. All you just accomplish is tipping the opposing team about your tactics in the PP.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Fiala draws another penalty against Minnesota, and it's the third PP attempt for LA.

 

[Nyssa42]

aww, man - what a shift! Capped off with the broken stick. Keep it up, boys! Good things will happen soon!

 

[JC6388LAKings]

1 for 3 for LA's PP. They just won't change their tactics when they're on the PP. This is certainly going to have them killed in the playoffs if they continue the way they play like this on the PP.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

2nd period ends. Minnesota ties the game on a PP goal after DD committed an unnecessary cross-checking penalty. The pace of the 2nd period was similar to the 1st one with neither team breaking through after one team scored a goal. Well, the Kings are going to have to work hard in getting the lead back for the next 20 minutes.

 

[Nyssa42]

not a bad period. Nice to see the Kings laying some big, well-timed hits.

 

[JayWells24]

Kings working hard tonight especially 22, 37, and 55.

 

[hokiecat]

Kings working hard tonight especially 22, 37, and 55.

When do they become the #1 line? I feel like they've driven play the most for the past few weeks.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Kopi draws a slashing penalty against Minnesota. Fourth PP attempt for LA right now.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Great, and now LA negates their PP with a tripping penalty against them. Thanks for that, Danault.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Both teams unsuccessful on the PP this period. Still a 1-1 game for now.

 

[Halfwall]

This game is just butt ugly. Kings can't do much of anything.

 

[Nyssa42]

are we gonna end up with another OT thriller? Neither side is giving an inch in this period

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Minnesota losing some of their key players to injuries forced them to play a game similar to that of the Preds when facing against LA tonight. Only this time there's a goal for each team this game.
