Overview
- Darcy Kuemper recorded the shutout, backstopping a Kings effort that limited time and space and protected a one-goal lead until late.
- Adrian Kempe opened the scoring with his 200th NHL goal off a Joel Armia feed on the forward’s 600th career game after a promotion to the top line.
- Kevin Fiala added a late power-play strike following a double‑minor high stick on Corey Perry, while Winnipeg went 0-for-5 with the man advantage.
- An apparent Jets goal in the first period was erased on a coach’s challenge for goaltender interference, a turning point Scott Arniel questioned postgame.
- Drew Doughty sealed it with an empty-netter for his 162nd career goal to pass Rob Blake for most by a Kings defenseman, snapping Winnipeg’s perfect road start.
