Los Angeles Kings show some resiliency at the end of regulation

The Los Angeles Kings found themselves down 3-1 late in the third period before Liam Greentree would cut the deficit in half off a pass from Aatu Jamsen. This would be the 2024 first-round pick's first goal of the tournament and with the Kings.

About a minute after Greentree's goal, the Kings would score once again. This time, they would win the faceoff and move the puck around before Jamsen would put a shot on the net. However, it would be Arvid Caderoth who would clean it up and get it past the goalie to tie the game.

Arvid Caderoth was a tournament invite after playing for the Fort Wayne Comets in the ECHL and with Michigian Tech in the CCHA last season. He would only have seven goals in 39 games between the two teams so it was good to see him get a goal here.

While the Kings would ultimately lose in overtime, it was great to see this group continue to fight and at least tie it up to send it to overtime.
