LA Kings defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning despite an early deficit

The LA Kings defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1, earning their ninth straight home win. Victor Hedman scored first for Tampa Bay just 1:10 into the game, with his shot deflecting off Mikey Anderson’s stick.

The Kings tied it at 7:58 when Mikey Anderson scored with a slap shot after Phillip Danault won a face-off. Anderson played a game-high 25 minutes and was a key defensive presence.

Adrian Kempe scored the game-winning goal at 14:12 of the third period. Alex Turcotte forced a turnover and then set up Kempe, who scored with a quick wrist shot. LA Kings coach Jim Hiller praised Turcotte’s effort and Kempe’s finish, calling it their best offensive play of the night.

“We needed somebody to make a play," Hiller said to reporters after the game. "Turcamakes a great play, ‘Juice’ (Kempe) finishes, and then we hang on by our fingertips.”

The LA Kings are now second in the Pacific Division with a 23-10-5 record.
