Can Los Angeles Kings Overcome Seattle Kraken's Second Period Surge at Crypto.com Arena?

The Los Angeles Kings faced off against the Seattle Kraken in a closely contested matchup at Crypto.com Arena. The game concluded with the Kraken edging out the Kings with a 3-2 victory. This result brought the Kings' record to 15-12-9, while Seattle improved to 15-14-6.

First Period

The opening period saw both teams struggling to find their rhythm, resulting in a scoreless start. The L.A. Kings managed to outshoot their opponents with 37 shots compared to Seattle's 28, but neither team could capitalize on their opportunities.

Second Period

The second period was pivotal for the Kraken as they found their stride and scored all three of their goals during this time frame. Eeli Tolvanen and Ben Meyers were instrumental for Seattle, each contributing significantly to their team's success. Despite facing pressure from the Kings' defense, which recorded 25 hits throughout the game, Seattle's offense proved too strong during this period.

Third Period

In an attempt to mount a comeback, Andrei Kuzmenko and Kevin Fiala each netted a goal for the L.A. Kings in the third period. However, despite these efforts and maintaining control over faceoffs with a win percentage of 52 percent compared to Seattle’s 48 percent, it wasn't enough for them to overcome the deficit created earlier by Seattle.

As fans look forward to more action from both teams, they can catch Los Angeles back on home ice against Anaheim Ducks on December 27th at Crypto.com Arena starting at 9:00 PM EDT. The game will be available for viewing on ESPN+, FDSW TV network or KTTV TV network among others.
