In a closely contested NHL game, the Los Angeles Kings took a 2-1 lead over the Florida Panthers. The deciding moment came with just 20.1 seconds left in the second period when Drew Doughty scored on a power play for the Kings. Earlier in the period, the Panthers had managed to tie the game at 1-1, following a successful drive to the net by Sam Bennett, who deflected a pass from Eetu Luostarinen just after the power play expired due to Kevin Fiala's penalty. Despite the Panthers' efforts, the Kings managed to regain the lead with Doughty's powerful goal, setting the stage for a tense final period.
