"The Florida Panthers came into Crypto.com Arena with the hopes of bouncing back from a brutal loss to the Anaheim Ducks, while the Los Angeles Kings looked to build some momentum off a 3-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets a few nights ago. Self-inflicting mistakes from the Kings and the Panthers' ability to capitalize on those propelled them to a 5-2 win over the Kings on Thursday night."
"Halfway through the first, the Kings were granted their second power play of the game, in which they capitalized. Kempe's seeing-eye shot from the point was tipped by Anze Kopitar, who collected his first goal of the season. Less than two minutes later, the Kings found the back of the net again. Mikey Anderson from the Kings' blue line sprung Corey Perry on a breakaway that he made no mistake finishing on. The 40-year-old ripped one high glove side for his sixth goal in nine games."
