Kuemper being back from injury helped the Kings win this game(his rebound control and goalie IQ is far better than Rittich's). Had Rittich played, Kings would have lost this one.
Nice seeing 3 goals from two d-men, but bad seeing no goals from forwards of the top 2 lines.
Byfield is not a winger, as he needs to play his natural center position.
Lewis is awful, as I saw him fall down twice in something like 15 secs.
If the forwards don't start scoring, it will become a bigger problem as the season progresses. If I'm an opponent, I would cover the Kings forwards and take my chances on the Kings D to score goals. Kings D will not be able to score 3 goals a game.
Fiala needs to be scratched to send a message! Stop taking such dumb careless penalties that is costing your team the momentum in the game. At the rate he's going, he will get more penalty minutes than points!
Sitting on these 3-0 and 3-1 leads will bite the team in the butt against the better teams!
