Why can we play like today outside of Los Angeles?

This was a top 3 win for the Kings this season. A complete 60 minute effort.

I think is too 1. The kings controlled all the game against one of the best teams of the league.
The defense and the goalie today were excellent.

The Kings must have done their homework against the Caps tonight; they likely have scouted them prior to the game, especially on Ovi and PLD. That's probably a factor on this SO victory achieved by LA.

On other news, wow, the Kraken's Montour just scored the fastest overtime goal in NHL history: four seconds into the OT period and beating the Habs 5-4.

That f***ing Russian scores 100 less goals if he plays his entire career in our division.

Beat the Jets, Wild, and now Caps when they were top of the standings. That’s what I remember.

Wow that’s awesome. I’ll need to look up that goal because that’s real quick off a starting faceoff in any situation.

This 4th line has an actual identity now; a purpose. I want a little more -mean- from Jeannot and Helenius, though. Trevor Lewis should never see the ice for this team ever again.
Montour wins it 4 seconds into OT | NHL.com
Brandon Montour snags the puck off of the face off, races in and rips a shot into the twine to give the Kraken the win just 4 seconds into overtime

100 percent. Lewis out of the lineup is already addition by subtraction. Having two heavy hitters is what you want on a 4th line and Turcotte’s responsibility keeps them all from getting too loose.
Also possibly the Kings best game all season? No lapses, everyone contributing, good faceoff wins. And for once we didn't blow the shutout with 30 seconds left in the game.

Tonight the Kings said NO-vetchkin! This was a great win, one of the best all season. They shut down the Caps completely. I’m really glad we won this game. The last time we played that was a scheduled loss. This told better how we matched up. And all the guys who scored are guys who’ve been scoring. And the best part about tonight is now we’re 2nd place in the Pacific. Suck it, Soilers!
Congratulations to the following posters who correctly guessed that Foegele would be credited with the game winning goal:

I'm not sure it was the best they've played all year but it sure seemed like a game they showed they wanted to win the most all year. There was no sitting back at any point, just constantly pushing on a team and never letting them catch their breath. Not that the Caps didn't have a couple moments, but for once the Kings didn't let them have them, they had to work for them. Now we just hope they don't hang the mission accomplished banner for getting to 2nd place. Huge tremendous effort and we definitely all get to soak that one in. Still think its hilarious that the only 2-1 they get a shot on goal, it turns into a goal. Had at least 3 others with no shot. Foegele with a beauty of a game winner, Fiala putting down a cross ice PP goal, Q with 5 straight and a 2-1 goal, and Kuemper with the shut out......oh yeah and SUCK IT PLD

They made it look boring at times - which is impressive against a team like that.

Pure domination. Between Ovi, Wilson and Strome, they had ONE shot total. The entire Caps team appeared to be in shock. They'weren't expecting this from the Kings. You could almost hear them on the bench:

it's generally more difficult to play on the road, but i think a fair amount has to do with getting last change and getting the matchups you want, especially on our D pairs. Clarke is heavily sheltered on zone starts, and spence is generally getting favorable offensive zone starts as well. Gavrikov and Anderson have been getting the lion's share of defensive zone starts for a reason. Kopi and Danault have been getting significant defensive zone draws as well and both are better at draws this season than Q.
I'd love to see a breakdown of possession and offensive zone time for the Kings between road and home games.
FWIW, some of it is probably a bit of luck as well.
