By the end of the first period, Turcotte had contributed to a commanding 3-0 lead for the Kings, showcasing his ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.Adrian Kempe and Kevin Fiala each added a goal and an assist, while Warren Foegele contributed a goal to solidify the Kings' victory. Quinn Hughes managed to break through the Kings' formidable defense with a long-range shot during a 4-on-4 situation in the second period, scoring the Canucks' lone goal. Kings goalie Darcy Kuemper showcased his exceptional skills, stopping 20 out of 21 shots faced, while Thatcher Demko made 16 saves for the Canucks. The Canucks, currently on a six-game losing streak, have slipped out of contention for the Western Conference's second wild card spot.
