Adrian Kempe<\/a> and Trevor Moore<\/a> scored, and Anton Forsberg<\/a>\u00a0made 19 saves for the Kings, who are the second wild card from the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, all the games have been tight,\u201d Los Angeles forward Quinton Byfield<\/a>\u00a0said. \u201cWe keep saying we\u2019re right there, but I think each guy, including myself, we have to give a little bit more. We\u2019re doing the right things, but we just have to dig in a little more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Landeskog gave Colorado a 1-0 lead at 5:29 of the first period. His shot from the blue line went wide of the net, but it caromed off the end boards back toward the left post, where Forsberg knocked it into his own goal with his right skate blade.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s some times where you just don\u2019t get bounces like that,\u201d Makar said. \u201cAnd, obviously, tonight was a good start to the game. I think it definitely gave us a little bit of a jolt in terms of feeling that maybe we can continue to press a little bit. Obviously, they started the game hot, like we touched on, and for us to be able to get that one there, I felt like it was huge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moore tied it 1-1 at 5:55 of the second period when Byfield\u2019s backhand pass from along the right boards deflected in off his shin. It was the first even-strength goal Los Angeles has scored in the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adrian Kempe and Trevor Moore scored, and Anton Forsberg\u00a0made 19 saves for the Kings, who are the second…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":625192,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-625191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625191\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
