Beat the teams you’re supposed to beat, regardless of the building. Overall, win the majority of your games at home and play better than .500 hockey on the road.

‘We’re a work in progress.’ Wait. That might actually be a Todd McLellan quote from not that long ago.
With a 4-1 win on Tuesday night, the Kings have now earned victories in three straight games. Drew Doughty opened the scoring via a power play goal — with his parents watching on, as they’re in town for the holidays. Alex Iafallo and Viktor Arvidsson recorded the Kings second and third goals, followed by a highlight reel performance by Kevin Fiala to seal the win.
Below are select highlights from Tuesday night’s game:
