LOS ANGELES – With a six-game road trip ahead, the Los Angeles Kings might have wanted to get away during stretches of a 4-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at Crypto.com Arena Saturday.
Their soaring offense and surging power play were held scoreless through nearly 50 minutes before a late man-advantage marker and later a milestone goal averted their first zero-goal game of the season.
Winger Arthur Kaliyev scored his roster-leading seventh power play goal, his ninth tally overall, while winger Samuel Fagemo scored his first NHL goal. Jonathan Quick stopped 27 shots in defeat, settling in for what projects to be extended duty while Cal Petersen plies his trade in the minors.
