The LA Kings had a tremendous start to December, crushing St Louis en route to a five win start to the month. They went on to defeat some of the best and worst teams in the league, but have stumbled since then. After scoring a game tying goal late in the third period, the Kings were beaten by an overtime goal.
This win wouldn’t be entirely crushing if not for the lead Los Angeles had gained early on. The Kings scored early and often, putting up a 2-0 deficit for New York in the first period.
