Kings Beat Panthers 2-1, Extend Streak Against Florida

The Los Angeles Kings faced off against the Florida Panthers, winning 2-1 after a strong third period comeback. Despite Florida's early lead, which included a power-play goal from Evan Rodrigues, the Kings rallied with Samuel Helenius scoring his first NHL goal and Adrian Kempe securing the victory with a deflected shot. Spencer Knight had a notable performance for the Panthers, making 26 saves, but his team has now lost five consecutive games in Los Angeles. This game marked a turnaround for the Kings, who had been struggling, losing four out of their last five prior to this match. The Panthers entered the game on a four-game road trip, showcasing a solid overall record but had been inconsistent in their recent performances. Both teams are looking to establish momentum as the season progresses, with the Kings hoping to break out of their slump and the Panthers aiming to maintain their competitive edge in the league.
