Kings' patchwork defense held up in Game 2 but lack of scoring chances led to loss

The Kings will get nothing out of the longest playoff game in their history except for a 2-0 series deficit, more ice bags and a shorter turnaround to the next game.

They fought hard and admirably just to get to overtime, and gave themselves a chance behind Jonathan Quick's 54 saves, but lost 2-1 in double overtime to the Vegas Golden Knights in a Game 2 first-round thriller Friday night at T-Mobile Arena.

"It's terrible, especially to work that hard and go so far in the game, but I think we're feeling pretty good," said rookie Paul LaDue, the lone goal scorer for the Kings in the series.
