Who knew?
Who knew the Kings would get another 5-on-3 opportunity so quickly. The Kings got another opportunity at a 5-on-3 in the second and they took advantage of it as Jarret Stoll scored in front of the net.
Also, Matt Moulson scored on a two-on-two breakaway on a pass from Dustin Brown to put the Kings up 4-2 51 seconds into the third. The Ducks are on the verge of starting the season 0-3, and the Kings are primed to win their first game of the season.

I have a bad feeling we are in for a very big surprise after this game....I'm thinking it's probley not good.
Agent Rich:
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find out why Drew Doughty is not playing in the 3rd.
