SEATTLE — The Kings were on the cusp of a road win, but they couldn’t finish off a Seattle Kraken squad that was desperate for a victory. Matty Beniers tied the score on a power-play goal with 24.8 seconds left in regulation, then Vince Dunn scored on a man advantage 1:21 into overtime as the Se attle Kraken rallied to beat the Kings, 3-2, on Wednesday night at Climate Pledge Arena. Jared McCann also scored for Seattle (12-10-6), which had been winless in its previous six outings (0-5-1) since Nov. 23. Eeli Tolvanan assisted on the tying and winning goals. Dunn added two assists. Joey Daccord made 24 saves. Alex Laferriere had a short-handed goal and Kevin Fiala scored on the power play for the Kings (14-8-8), who had won their previous two. Anton Forsberg made 30 saves. Seattle went 3 for 7 on the power play, while the Kings went 1 for 5. “No goals scored at 5-on-5, so I thought both teams checked, and neither of them are the most offensive teams, so that was on par with what we expected,” Kings coach Jim Hiller told NHL.com. “Lots of penalties on both sides tonight, and too many for us. That probably is the difference in the game.” The Kraken got the power-play opportunity with 3:55 left in overtime when Adrian Kempe was called for tripping. Tolvanen, playing near the left circle, sent a pass across to Dunn just above the right circle, and his slap shot zipped past Forsberg. It was a tripping penalty against Forsberg that gave the Kraken a power play with 38.8 seconds left in regulation. With Daccord already having been pulled for the extra attacker, Seattle took advantage of a Kings giveaway in their own end. Tolvanen gained control on the right side and sent it toward the net, where Beniers redirected it into the low slot over Forsberg’s right shoulder. “Matty’s goal, there, there’s not much to it,” Dunn told NHL.com. “It’s throwing the puck where guys are going to the net, and eventually it’s going to go in for us.” Along with McCann’s fifth goal of the season at 3:21 of the second period for a 1-0 lead, all three Kraken goals were scored on the power play. They now have goals with the man advantage in three of the past four games after going 0 for 14 in the four games prior to that. Laferriere tied it 1-1 with a short-handed breakaway goal at 8:16 of the second period. Joel Armia chipped the puck out of the defensive zone to spring Laferriere, who raced in, deked to his backhand and lifted it over Daccord’s right shoulder for the Kings’ league-leading sixth short-handed goal of the season. “They don’t really give too much off the rush,” Kings defenseman Joel Edmundson told NHL.com. “They kind of back out [of the offensive zone], similar to us, so we knew it was going to be a game where the team that uses the offensive zone as much as they can, work the puck low, is going to come out on top. They played us well, and it was a tough game.” Fiala gave the Kings a 2-1 lead on a power-play goal with 5:20 left in regulation, catching a touch pass from Anze Kopitar in stride at the top of the slot to create a partial breakaway, deking to his right, and lifting it under the crossbar. “The guys executed really well on the entry [into the zone],” Hiller told NHL.com. “So we’ll take one [power-play goal], but we had the chance for more.” UP NEXT The Kings host Calgary on Saturday at 7 p.m. Related Articles Kings sign prospect Vojtěch Čihař to entry-level deal Joel Armia’s 2-goal night leads Kings past Mammoth Kings hit road looking to build off rout of Blackhawks Kings hammer Blackhawks with 6-goal outburst Kings host Blackhawks again after another listless loss ...read more read less
