Kings Shut Out Predators 3-0

The Los Angeles Kings secured a 3-0 victory over the Nashville Predators, highlighted by Darcy Kuemper's 16 saves for his first shutout of the season. Anze Kopitar opened the scoring, followed by goals from Adrian Kempe and Kevin Fiala, as the Kings controlled the game, outshooting the Predators 12-3 in the final period. This win marks the Kings' second victory in their last three games, improving their performance after a recent shootout loss to Chicago. Juuse Saros made 24 saves for the Predators, who continue to struggle offensively, managing only a single goal in their last two games and ranking 26th in the league with an average of 2.64 goals per game. The Predators have now lost three of their last four matches, raising concerns about their scoring ability as opponents have scored first in nine of their twelve games. The Kings will next face Minnesota, while Nashville prepares for a match against Washington.
