And when you use those things to learn and grow as a person, as a teammate, as a player — you’re going to keep getting better and I think that’s what I’m going to keep doing.”The Kings outshot the Oilers 10-4 in the first period, although the Oilers had a couple of great chances.
“It was hard fought to the end,” Mattias Ekholm said. “Obviously they came in waves, but I thought we held our own. I thought we weren’t just taking on water. There were maybe times where we would have liked to have held onto the puck a bit more in the offensive zone. But, hey, we scored a lot of goals the first three games, it’s nice to see we can win games this way too.”“It’s frustrating,” Kings head coach Jim Hiller said. “Disappointing is a really good word.
