With an opportunity to climb to the top of the Western Conference, the Kings lost their footing against Vancouver.
Los Angeles Kings head coach Todd McLellan, center top, yells instructions during the first period of an NHL hockey game against the Vancouver Canucks, Saturday, March 18, 2023, in Los Angeles.
Vancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser celebrates with teammates after his goal during the first period of an NHL hockey game against the Los Angeles Kings, Saturday, March 18, 2023, in Los Angeles. Defenseman Alex Edler and winger Carl Grundstrom scored goals in regulation. Joonas Korpisalo made 15 saves, saddling him with his first loss as a King since being traded from Columbus on Feb. 28. The Kings are now 6-0-2 since the swap that brought them Korpisalo and defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov.
Domineering play stretched across events and situations alike for the Kings but a combination of narrow misses and otherworldly goaltending by Demko left the game in peril for them all evening. Though they’d dominated possession, the faceoff circle and the shot total alike, the Kings didn’t have their first lead until there was only 3:42 remaining in the middle frame. Grundstrom started the sequence by separating Hughes from the puck behind the net with a powerful check and then finished with a point-blank goal off a pair of passes in tight and a little soccer skills as he kicked the puck to his stick. His ninth goal matched his career high from last season.
