Forward Artemi Panarin registered a couple of points for head coach Jim Hiller and the Los Angeles Kings (23-20-14) in the Pacific Division yesterday (Feb. 25), but it wasn't enough for the squad to overcome a massive third-period outburst from the Vegas Golden Knights on the scoreboard.
The Kings had a 2-1 lead on the scoreboard in the middle frame in the second period late yesterday on the ice vs. the Golden Knights in the Pacific Division. But the Golden Knights scored five goals on the scoreboard in the final frame in the third period.
