Overview
- Darcy Kuemper posted the shutout against Winnipeg, with published save totals ranging from 23 to 30 across outlets.
- An early Josh Morrissey tally was wiped out on a coach’s challenge for goaltender interference, a ruling Scott Arniel questioned afterward.
- With 8 minutes left, Vitali Namestnikov’s high‑sticking double‑minor led to a four‑minute advantage that Kevin Fiala converted to make it 2-0 late.
- Winnipeg’s man‑advantage woes continued at 0-for-5 in the game and 1-for-11 over the past three contests as their 4-0 road start ended.
- L.A. earned its first home win of the season on a milestone night featuring Drew Doughty’s record for Kings defensemen, Adrian Kempe’s 200th goal, Joel Armia’s 600th game and Corey Perry’s 1400th with an assist.
