Kings Shut Out Capitals, Extend Winning Streak to Four Games

Los Angeles dominates Eastern Conference leaders with Darcy Kuemper's stellar goaltending and strong penalty kill performance.

Darcy Kuemper recorded his 34th career shutout, making 21 saves in the Kings' 3-0 victory over the Washington Capitals.
The Capitals' Alex Ovechkin, nine goals shy of breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time scoring record, was held without a shot on goal for only the second time this season.
Kevin Fiala and Quinton Byfield scored 47 seconds apart in the third period, with Byfield extending his goal streak to five consecutive games.
The Kings' penalty kill unit remained dominant, successfully defending all five Capitals' power plays, including a brief 5-on-3 advantage.
The win moves the Kings into second place in the Pacific Division, surpassing the Edmonton Oilers, as they continue their push for playoff positioning.
