The Islanders by and large got “goalied” last night as Darcy Kuemper held them at bay and, after the Isles erased a 2-0 deficit, the Kings kept the puck for the entire boring overtime before scoring over Semyon Varlamov’s shoulder on a Adam Pelech-facilitated screen. That’s a bummer, man. Varlamov wasn’t great in allowing two […]
The LA Kings skated to their second consecutive victory, a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Islanders on Thursday evening at UBS Arena in Elmont, NY.

It was a really impressive effort from the New York Islanders tonight after going down 2-0 in the first period.

Good to see Mats Zuccarello back in action with the Kings. It’s been a bumpy start in Los Angeles for the veteran winger, outside of his control.
