The Kings had a 3-2 lead after a fairly even forty minutes. Then for the second straight game they blew the doors off the Blackhawks in the third period, outchancing them 9-2 (5-2 EV) on their way to a convincing victory. An excellent effort.
How crazy is it that Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli weren’t on the Kings to start the year? Pretty crazy, right? But the Kings are running a near-optimal lineup now, the Blackhawks are not, and the Kings are looking dominant.
How good are Pearson-Carter-Toffoli right now?
