What we learned from the Kings' 4-1 win over the Golden Knights

The Kings were thoroughly outplayed in the second period but got two goals before they finished off a 4-1 win with a strong third period Tuesday.

Jack Campbell proved himself. There were some sideways looks when the Kings traded Darcy Kuemper, arguably the best backup goalie in the league, and handed that role to Campbell, who had only played in two NHL games before Tuesday.

"It never happens," Campbell said. "It never comes off. I'm thinking, 'Great, my first game in four years. My thing comes undone.' People hate me."
