"It wears on you having to come back all the time. We have to find ways to get leads and hold leads. Going down the stretch here like that's tough, not only physically, but mentally to keep having to come back in games like that."
"Los Angeles struck quickly when Trevor Moore opened the scoring at 3:33 of the first period. Moore blocked a point shot from Scott Mayfield, raced in alone, and beat Sorokin on a breakaway to give the Kings a 1-0 lead. The Kings doubled the lead midway through the period when captain Anze Kopitar tipped home a slap pass from Mikey Anderson at 13:07."
"From there, the Islanders pressed for the equalizer. New York generated several chances in the final minutes and even earned a late 6-on-4 opportunity after a pair of penalties with just seconds remaining. However, Schaefer's last-second shot was blocked before it could reach the net."
The New York Islanders lost 3-2 to the Los Angeles Kings after surrendering three goals in the first period. Trevor Moore, Anze Kopitar, and Adrian Kempe scored for Los Angeles in the opening frame.

Despite generating multiple chances late, including a 6-on-4 opportunity in the final seconds, New York could not complete the comeback. The loss ended the Islanders' two-game winning streak.
