In a thrilling matchup on Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Kings rallied to defeat the Florida Panthers 2-1, with Samuel Helenius scoring his first NHL goal and Adrian Kempe netting the game-winner. The Kings, led by goalie Darcy Kuemper who made 27 saves, ended a two-game losing streak, while the Panthers suffered only their second loss this season when leading after two periods. Helenius tied the game in the third period, capitalizing on a loose puck, followed by Kempe's decisive goal off a deflection.
