LOS ANGELES — The Golden Knights’ first competition as a franchise produced a mixed bag of results Tuesday at the Toyota Sports Center.
It was a Hollywood on Ice version of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” all in a tidy 60 minutes. Some fine work in goal by Logan Thompson; Tomas Hyka showing speed and skill in scoring the franchise’s first goal and some solid work by Keegan Kolesar along with the fourth line of Ben Jones, Lucas Elvenes and and Jayden Halbgewachs.
Their good work was offset by too many penalties, too many turnovers and some sketchy play in net by Jiri Patera, who allowed all six of the Los Angeles Kings’ goals over 29 minutes in a 6-2 loss.
