Los Angeles 4, San Jose 0

Second Period
13:00 – A monster fight between the biggest dudes on the ice – Kaleb Lawrence and Simon Wang. Honestly, didn’t like the shots from Wang after he took Lawrence to the ice. Goes against the unwritten rules of the game. Can’t imagine that would be appreciated from a Kings point of view.
16:10 – One thing I like about Otto Salin. He’s deceptive with his passes. Uses his eyes well to look like he’s sending it one way and then moves it another. Kings don’t get anything from it, but looks comfortable running a power play from the top.
16:50 – Musty hits Greentree from behind into the boards in a dangerous area. Connors and Brzustewicz both dropped their gloves to challenge but Brzustewicz got them off first. Two first-rounders from the OHL going at it.
20:00 – Kings and Sharks are back underway, with the Kings leading 4-0 in Irvine.

First Period
0:00 – Four goals for the LA Kings and they take a 4-0 lead into the intermission. Not a bad way to get things going.
4:56 – LAK GOAL: Kenta Isogai gets in on the action to make it 4-0. Forward Jack Hughes drove the net and was denied twice on a nice move, but Isogai followed up the play and slotted home the rebound from just outside the crease.
7:01 – Kings will get their second power play of the period. Brzustewicz the lone defenseman on the top unit with four forwards – Greentree, Connors, Jamsen and Ziemmer. Moved it decently on the first try but didn’t get one to go.
9:33 – LAK GOAL: Kirill Kirsanov gets in on the action. Kaleb Lawrence wins a faceoff in the offensive zone, Kirsanov shoots from the left point, through some traffic and past San Jose goaltender Matt Davis on the stick side. 3-0 Kings.
13:20 – The pace is much faster in this game, early, than it was last year. Never know how these kinds of tournaments will play out and so far, the pace has been much faster than expected.
Live Updates
18:35 – LAK GOAL: Make that two goals in less than two minutes! Nice pass by Jan Chovan and a one-timer from Parker Berge on another early 2-on-1 rush. Little silkier on Round 2. Kings lead by a pair very early in this one.
19:45 – LAK GOAL: Well that was quick! Ziemmer tries to feed Connors driving the net on a 2-on-1 and the Kings open the scoring just 15 seconds into the game. Puck glanced off a San Jose defender and in for the game’s first goal.
20:00 – Kings and Sharks are underway in Irvine!
