TURNING POINT

The goal in the final minute of the second period gave the Kings a big boost heading into the final stanza. The rest of the game was all LA.

POSTGAME 5 (“5 Things” Revisited)

1. Koly the goalkeeper: Just as Wednesday’s game in Detroit was tough for Samuel Ersson after a solid first period, Kolosov couldn’t stop the bleeding in this game. Kopitar’s goal late in the second period opened the floodgates for the Kings.

2. Flyer Puck Management: For the second game in a row, the Flyers had too many turnovers and faulty coverages to create a winnable hockey game.

3. Line combinations and defense pairs: After sitting on the bench for the duration of the third period on Wednesday in Detroit, Cam York was a DND on Thursday against the Kings. Emil Andrae (a healthy scratch in the previous three games) returned to the lineup. At the front, the line-up remained the same as on Wednesday.

4. Flyer Special Teams: Philly scored 0-2 on the power play and 1-1 on penalties. Although both of Foerster’s goals were 5-on-5 in the second period, they came just seconds after strong finishes on a penalty shootout and a power play. Philadelphia’s second power play of the game, however, was a negative momentum segment.

5. Behind Enemy Lines: Kopitar: The Kings captain, likely a future Hockey Hall of Famer, didn’t have his usual dominant night on faceoffs (10-for-25), but was otherwise the all-round do-it-all for his team in the game.
