The Kings’ Kevin Fiala, left, and Adrian Kempe, right, congratulate Anze Kopitar after his goal during the second period of their 6-0 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena. Kopitar had a goal and an assist and surpassed 1,200 career points during the blowout win.
Marc-Andre Fleury wobbled and also bore the brunt of the Wild’s dead legs, weary minds and bad bounces before being relieved by Filip Gustavsson. Minnesota was at the end of its road trip and without arguably its three best defensive players: center Joel Eriksson Ek as well as defensemen Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin. Brodin was injured
The Kings extended their lead on a power play that proved patience to be a virtue. Not only did they score with under five seconds remaining on Minnesota’s minor penalty, it was Fiala ignoring the pleas of “shoot!” from the crowd to make a pass, adjust his position, receive the puck anew, change his shooting angle and pick his spot against a defenseless Fleury. It was goal No. 23 of 2023-24 for Fiala, with 4:57 to play in the period.
