- Adrian Kempe had two goals, and the Los Angeles Kings moved into a playoff spot with a 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.
The Kings started strong for the second consecutive game, with Kempe opening the scoring after 1:29 by getting to the slot and burying Brandt Clarke's centering pass. After Pettersson tied it late in the first, Armia needed just 1:31 to put Los Angeles back up.
Kempe netted his second goal with 28.2 seconds left in the middle period by redirecting Joel Edmundson's slap shot for a 3-1 lead. Kempe has been the main offensive catalyst during the Kings' five-game point streak, collecting seven goals and two assists in that span with three multigoal efforts. The switch to Forsberg in net is also paying dividends, as he has won three straight starts while allowing four goals total. The Kings had played four straight games decided in overtime or a shootout, setting an NHL single-season record for games going past regulation along the way, but Moore ensured there would be no chance of extra hockey with his goal midway through the third period.Canucks: Visit San Jose on Saturday night.
