Blake Lizotte et Anze Kopitar ont brisé l’égalité en deuxième période avec deux buts rapides et les Kings de Los Angeles ont survécu à une frayeur tardive des Canucks de Vancouver en s’accrochant pour gagner 3-2.

I'm continually amazed by the depth of knowledge and expertise exhibited by members of this community. It's humbling.💝
Go, Kings, go!👑
someone needs to hire a htman on Carson Soucy, just an idiot who is useless on the Canucks, all his fault.
Locking bro go kings go go kings go go kings go
poor THG 😢
Loved Skeeter's check on Zederov. Shoulda got the first star just for that. Great win.
This is a lot like the Colorado Avalanche game from recently.
When a team comes into Rogers Arena with a strong defensive mindset, my worry for the Canucks skyrockets, because I do not think they understand that when their tactic of puck dumps and short shift changes does not work against teams like Kings, they still carry on using it. They don't seem to have a Plan B when Plan A doesn't work. And in terms of prowess and clinical edge, it's as blunt as a worn pencil.
Honestly not even mad about this game, la plays a very boring style hockey I’m just glad we had some entertainment.
Good game. It wasn't like the Canucks played poorly, the chances just weren't going in tonight.
Not mad about this loss.
This game was a prime example of how L.A. could be one of the most dangerous teams in the playoffs. Stifling defense, and stellar goaltending.
L.A. locked it down in the 3rd period. They did it so well, that Vancouver pulled their goalie with just under 5 minutes left in the game, and they immediately started to create scoring chances with the extra man. The King's defense and Talbot would expertly handle most of these chances, before Vancouver would get one to go off of Kopitar's skate, similarly to the second King's goal that Soucy kicked into his own net.
The Kings would hold on however, after missing a couple of looks at the empty net, and extend their win streak to 4 games. They also denied Vancouver of the honor of the first team to secure a playoff berth this season.
Arvidsson's presence in the lineup has been tremendous for the Kings this season. Including tonight, Arviddson has played in seven games, all of which, the Kings have won. Over those seven games, he has 1 goal, 4 assists, and is a +4. He is an invaluable piece in the Kings lineup, and will be essential for L.A. in the playoffs.
Kopitar also scored a goal and an assist, to tie him for 50th all time in points with Vincent Damphousse. He continues to lead the Kings in scoring this season, with 64 points. Legendary player, who doesn't get talked about as much as he should be.
Great start to the Canadian road trip for the Kings. They get a couple days off before facing Edmonton for the 4th and final time in the regular season. They're playing well, so hopefully a couple days off doesn't throw them off their game.
Go Kings Go!
Not a great game for Soucy
I hope these two play each other in the playoffs. Outside of the first meeting, the two games they've played have been tight, and low scoring, but intense. A 2012 rematch would be entertaining to watch.
Canucks are a good team. I don't mind winning close games right now against teams like this and the Lightning, these playoff-like games against playoff teams.
Fell asleep for most of the game, Kings play the most boring style of hockey, but it works… Canucks didn’t play poorly either though, just some bad bounces. A positive I can take away from this game is that Podkolzin looks really really good.
Canucks will get knocked out first round playing with kings Talbot Canucks killer we Don't have Demko and Joshua
Any Canucks fan still want to play the kings in the first round may rethink that after this game lol
I think those canucks jerseys are the prettiest jerseys in sports let alone hockey
Myers and soucy pairing just awful
Poor Vancouver.. will never win a Stanley Cup.
Regroup, on to the next game, shout out to Desmith valiant effort in goal, go Canucks.
Талбот конечно крут, настоящая стена. Бросков по его воротам было немного, но почти все они очень опасные. Во многом благодаря киперу у Ангелочков в меню сегодня морепродукты.
LA😎✌🤝✊🙏
That game was a hell of a hard fight. Canucks played really good, especially Lafferty, he pulled off a great goal.
Then at the last minute of the game, they were hellbent on tying the game at the third period, forcing overtime and a chance to win the game and to clinch their first playoff spot. That is a type of fervor I love to see.
On to the eighth home stand game against the Stars on Thursday…
Good game. Loved Lafferty's 97impression. Throw the Oilers and the Knights into the mix and the playoffs are going to be great.
