Kings continue hot Eastern Conference trip with 6-3 win over Rangers
NEW YORK (AP) --- Drew Doughty had a goal and two assists, and Artemi Panarin
added a power-play goal and an assist as the Los Angeles Kings beat the New
York Rangers 6-3 on Monday night.
The Kings won for the third time in their last four games --- all on the road
--- after going winless over their first six games of the season.
Los Angeles jumped on New York early, chasing goaltender James Reimer after one
period. Reimer was pulled in his Rangers debut after allowing three goals on
eight shots. Reimer played just one previous game this fall, a 35-save shutout
in the American Hockey League on Saturday night, before signing an NHL contract
for the rest of the season.
Taylor Ward opened the scoring 1:15 into the game on the Kings' first shot.
Brandt Clarke made it 2-0 at 4:52 of the first, tipping in a rebound off Joel
Armia's slap shot.
J.T. Miller got New York on the board when a Tye Kartye slap shot deflected off
his skate and past Darcy Kuemper.
Mikey Anderson and Taylor Ward added second-period goals for the Kings before
Adam Fox cut the deficit to 5-2 on the power play with 6:55 to play in the
second. Kartye got the Rangers within two at 16:08 of the third period, before
Joel Edmundson scored in an empty net for his first goal of the season for Los
Angeles.
Kuemper made 23 saves to pick up his third win of the season. After replacing
Reimer, Dylan Garand stopped 15 of the 17 shots he faced.
A moment of silence was held prior to puck drop for 1970s and '80s Rangers fan
favorite Ron Duguay, who died last week.
