Blake Lizotte, Drew Doughty, Alex Iafallo and Trevor Moore score in the middle period as the Kings improve to 14-3-3 in their past 20 games with a 5-2 win.
LOS ANGELES — The Kings inundated the New York Islanders with a four-goal second period in a game they ultimately won, 5-2, on Tuesday night at Crypto.Com Arena to remain among the Pacific Division’s contenders and the NHL’s hottest teams.
Center Blake Lizotte, defenseman Drew Doughty, winger Alex Iafallo and forward Trevor Moore scored for the Kings before forward Quinton Byfield added an empty-net goal. Defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov contributed two assists. Joonas Korpisalo improved to a perfect 3-0-0 as a King, making 26 saves. He’s allowed exactly two goals in each of his three starts.
Two of the final three minutes of the game placed the Kings a man down, but they killed a late infraction and the player who took it, Byfield, deposited the empty-net goal upon departing the penalty box. With 2:58 left in the second period, the Islanders got a goal back just as their power play expired. Defenseman Sebastian Aho’s low-flying shot from the point was redirected skyward at the last instant by Pageau. Pageau played his first game since sustaining an upper-body injury on Feb. 11, and he’d played in 17 games since he last scored, part of a two-goal performance on Jan. 3.
