LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Adrian Kempe scored the only goal of the shootout in the
second round, and the Los Angeles Kings tightened the Western Conference
playoff race with a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators on Monday night.
Los Angeles has played extra time in seven of its last 10 games --- and 32 this
season.
Joel Armia opened the scoring for the Kings and Scott Laughton made it a 2-1
lead in the second period. Jared Wright has an assist in a career-best three
straight games.
Steven Stamkos tied it at 1-all for the Predators and Roman Josi knotted it at
2 early in the third.
Anton Forsberg made 29 saves in the win for the Kings. Saros made 26 saves for
the Predators.
The Kings won 58.3% of the faceoffs in the game.
All three series matchups this season went to a shootout, including a 5-4
victory for the Predators in Los Angeles last Thursday.
