The hockey players of Los Angeles, who won a series of victories after the All-Star break, this time had to admit defeat against Vancouver on their home ice. The latter won 2:3 after penalty kicks. Anže Kopitar did not register among the scorers or passers.
After the opening period it was 1:1, and in the second period Carl Grundström took care of the hosts’ first lead. The visitors managed to equalize and force overtime after Elias Pettersson scored more goals in the last period with a man advantage. There was no decision in overtime, but Andrej Kuzmenko and JT Miller were successful in penalty kicks for Vancouver.
Thatcher Demko also has a lot of credit for the Canucks’ success, making 38 saves.
