Kings Shut Out Capitals in 3-0 Victory, Extend Win Streak to Four

Darcy Kuemper's stellar performance and goals from Fiala, Byfield, and Foegele propel Los Angeles past Washington.

Darcy Kuemper recorded his 34th career shutout with 21 saves, marking his third shutout of the season since being traded to Los Angeles from Washington last summer.
Quinton Byfield scored for the fifth consecutive game, while Kevin Fiala added a goal and an assist, and Warren Foegele contributed a goal for his 200th career point.
The Kings' penalty kill was dominant, denying Washington on all five power-play opportunities, including a brief two-man advantage in the third period.
Alex Ovechkin, nine goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL scoring record, failed to register a shot on goal for only the second time this season.
With their fourth straight win, the Kings moved into second place in the Pacific Division, overtaking the Edmonton Oilers.
