Pierre-Luc Dubois opened the scoring while Trevor Moore had two goals and a helper in LA's first win of the season.
In the first meeting between two teams involved in one of the biggest offseason deals in the NHL, players who were moved in the trade were a big part of the story in a 5-1 win for the LA Kings in Winnipeg Tuesday night.
Dubois got his first touch of the puck during the man advantage and was booed heartily by the Winnipeg crowd, as he would be every time he touched the puck throughout the game. While the Jets were able to kill it off, their penalty killers were hemmed in their own end and weren’t able to clear the puck.
That was until things got heated over a missed boarding penalty with roughly six minutes left in the period. Cole Perfetti was shoved from behind into the boards by Andreas Englund, prompting Samberg to come to Perfetti’s defence.Samberg and Englund dropped the gloves briefly before Englund landed a hefty punch to Samberg’s face, ending the fracas.
