Adrian Kempe scored three goals and an assist to help the Los Angeles Kings secure a 5-3 win against the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center. This victory took the Kings to third place in the Pacific Division, where they will face the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Anze Kopitar and Viktor Arvidsson contributed to the win with a goal and an impressive three assists respectively, while Joonas Korpisalo protected the net with 21 saves. Troy Terry, Max Jones, and Trevor Zegras scored for the Ducks, but their efforts were not enough to end a franchise-record, 13-game losing streak. The Kings' quality generated a 10-0 advantage in shots goals in the first seven minutes of the game, which gave them control of the matchup. Kempe was a standout player, particularly in the second period, scoring a one-timer for a PPG and another goal to grant him his fourth career hat trick. The Kings will now aim to continue their success in the playoffs and see if Kempe can replicate his impressive performance on the big stage.
