Andrei Kuzmenko<\/a> scored, and Anton Forsberg<\/a> made 27 saves for the Kings (15-11-9), who have lost five of six (1-3-2).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe obviously want to put on a show for our great fans,\u201d Los Angeles defenseman Joel Edmundson<\/a> said. \u201cWe\u2019re not scoring goals. Special teams is kind of killing us right now, so we\u2019ve got to figure that out soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Blue Jackets went up 1-0 at 4:07 of the first period. Marchment skated through Joel Armia<\/a> and Trevor Moore<\/a> to get to the slot and put a wrist shot in off Forsberg\u2019s blocker on the power play.<\/p>\n

Columbus took a 2-0 lead at 19:36 on the power play when Marchment scored his third goal in two games. Boone Jenner<\/a>\u2019s shot from the high slot took a double deflection off Damon Severson<\/a>\u2019s stick and in off Marchment.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo is nice, three is better, you know,\u201d Marchment joked. \u201cJust trying to get some shots on net and happy that one went in. And then the other one was a great shot from the point, and went off my chest and in, so we\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marchment had 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in 29 games with the Kraken, with no goals on the power play, before he was acquired for a second-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s an unbelievable player,\u201d Marchenko said. \u201cHe can score goals, make passes, he can do everything on the ice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrei Kuzmenko scored, and Anton Forsberg made 27 saves for the Kings (15-11-9), who have lost five of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":366287,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-366286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=366286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/366287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=366286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=366286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=366286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
