Despite having a few extra forwards at his disposal, Kings coach Todd McLellan opted to stick with the same 12 guys for Tuesday’s game vs. the Lightning. However, he had to switch things up on defense when Mikey Anderson was ruled out just before puck drop due to a non-COVID illness. Christian Wolanin, who had just been called up to join LA on the road trip, was inserted into action.
Drew Doughty put the Kings up 1-0, a marker that was later answered by Victor Hedman. In the second period, Viktor Arvidsson saw LA go back on top 2-1. Yet, play was tied 2-2 after 40 minutes, and again after 60 minutes of regulation. On to overtime they went… Below are selected highlights from the game:
