Copley received a two-minute minor for leaving the crease and a match penalty for a blocker punch in the second-period melee, angered by the Ducks’ Frank Vatrano. The usually chill Copley looked ready to take on all comers and there looked to be one eager combatant.Gibson skated to center ice and smacked his stick twice, signaling his willingness.
After Copley’s ejection, goalie Jonathan Quick played the final 23 seconds of the second period and the third, allowing two goals in the third period, to Ducks rookie Mason McTavish and Vatrano. McTavish scored on the power play at 2:28, cutting the Kings’ lead to 3-2. It was McTavish’s 12th goal of the season.
Vatrano pulled the Ducks within one again with an opportunistic sequence, converting his third attempt, at 13:10. For Vatrano, it was his 14th goal of the season and 28th point. The Kings, who scored three times in the third period, wrapped it up with goals by Arvidsson and Kevin Fiala’s empty netter with 1:13 remaining.
