ANAHEIM, Calif. — Suddenly, a garden-variety rivalry game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks morphed into another entity on Friday night at Honda Center.
Freeway Fight Night.
The Kings’ third straight win since coming out of the All-Star break – a 6-3 victory over the last-place Ducks – was overshadowed by a wild turn of events in the final minute of the second period, which resulted in Kings goaltender Pheonix Copley getting ejected from the game. Leading the Kings was Viktor Arvidsson’s two-goal performance and their potent power play, which went 3 for 4.
