HIGHLIGHTS: LA Kings vs Pittsburgh Penguins | 10.16.25 NHL Regular Season
Tonight’s puck drop is brought to you by Simpson Chevrolet. It is Deno Kosmeco and Kee against Malin Brazo and Mantha. A big second line for the Penguins and Turkot goes after it and then Fogle around Kirk back and a long shot from the point. Learier will take the face off and it comes back for Doulin. Now Dowy snaps a shot right on goal. Stopped by Sheilops. That’s turned over and now Fogle comes in. Here’s Turkot. More to the net and a shot by Turkot. Right on. And a save and Anderson kept it alive at the line. Good stop there by Sheilocks. And now the Kings on the for check. Set out. CC quick shot way on right. Save on Fogle. Another shot. He scores. Fogle has given the Kings a one- nothing lead. [Applause] [Music] Only a couple shifts, but right there. Keep the puck alive. Create a turnover. Boards low to high. Don’t stay on the boards. Get to the front. Shot once. Follow it up. Shot twice. That’s just second, third, fourth effort. It’s moving your legs. It’s not thinking. It’s more about skating. And with all the things we talked about, of course, it’s not necessarily a cycle issue, but the Kings did control the puck down low. At the line, can’t get it. Now Aari wins that battle and a shot stopped by Forther and it’s loose there. Still loose back of the goal and a pass by Mantha for Molin and a veteran from Russia. Mantha had his pocket picked by Aria. Threeon two Kings break. Now Arma cross to the net. They score. Was that beautiful? Two nothing Kings. [Music] Another element of the Kings identity is check for your chances. Play defensively right here. Stick. Yeah. Stick on puck. He had the inside position. Then you go the other way. And you know what? You get the puck to the skill guys. And that’s what happens. Armia knows his role, right? Move it around. The attack triangle works. And look at how close that is. Just find one stick just by the pad of the goender. But against Wobbler spoonfield trying to clear it. He can’t. Crosby in front. Rust right in. And he shot that one maybe off the arm. I’m not sure. Or wide. And now Dowy away from Achari. Boy, a wicked pace here early on. Jim and the Kings in again. Trevor Moore off the goal post short side on Sheilocks. Three zip. Kings with a long stretch pay. And a great job by Moore to get the puck and keep his speed going. The Kings are getting their chances now on the rush. The last goal that last attempt in front here. Backhander goes up high by former King Lazot. Can’t get much on it. Bulan with it. Pass in front. Tip by CC and then Shay activates from the point and a shot by Manta. Right on. Stopped by Borberford. Rebound was there but not clear. A next opportunity. Puck has to get out for the Kings here. Nothing fancy. And now the Kings Arfield to the net. A shot by Arma. And a shoulder save by Sheilops. And then Kee. Good pass back down. He shoots it and a glove up save by Sheilops. Adrien Campe has Thank you Carlin. Thank you Mike. Kings have lost the first three Dzone faceoffs. Win this one. Here they come attacking Dumalan. Rebound. Turkot was there and he couldn’t knock it in out of midair. Gets a bit of a pick there. Here’s Clark shooting one off the chest of Sheiloff. Puck loose there. Banged around and picked up by Lazot. Kings putting a lot of pucks on net up to 11 shots in this first period. Now in front backhander right on goal by mana and a good stop there by Forsber and to the line now Shay across for Latang and then Lazot and that was knocked away. Another shot by Latang. Shots in this first period. Crosby wins the faceoff back. Shot by Carlson. Got through and a save by Forsber. May have been tipped on the way through. Outnumbered attack force the defenders into mistakes. The Kings have a two nothing lead. And underway here in the second period as the Kings come in to know on the wall. Here’s Kempe scored in five straight games against Pittsburgh. That comes around Edmonson trying to pinch. Kazbo grabs it now for Clark. Kings are swarming. Edmonson shoots it right on and a save by Sheilops and then Shay nowhere to go with it and then Deno gets it back of the cage. Back to Clark. The drive and a save again by Sheil. Knocks it by Sheay with Pia in front. Allah dust it off and it hit the goal post. What happened? Mikey Anderson got caught in between once with a stick. Watch this. Knock it out of the air to keep it alive. Everything working well. Then all the way across. Now at the end, the Penguins actually defended pretty well. It goes up. First of two at home for the Kings, the Hurricanes here on Saturday as Moore shoots it around. No one home there for the Kings. And Thomas races in a drive and he put that up high and then Edmonson around on this side. Matt is there. He’s drilled kept in. Shay shoots it and that goes high. Zezy hunts it down around. Good clean exit by the Kings. Now Deno gets it and walks in with numbers to Kebe waiting shooting one and a save by Sheil. Rebound loose in front and the captain Crosby to Malin. Seen pass Rust in front. Edmonson swapped it away. That was intended for Crosby. Kings can’t clear it. And now Rust and Mulan again. Here’s Mulan right in. Shoots and he scores. Surprising Forsber and he makes it two to one. Malcolin just took control. He had his head up all the way earlier on. The Penguins tried back door play to trust that everything else is taken care of. I think this one goes tweeters here. We’ll see if there’s any type of a screen. Not really. Now it might have been short side too. So it’s just too much time now. The shot comes from a bad angle. So right there automatically that’s stoppable. It goes through the goalender and it’s 2-1. By the way, have now allowed at least one power play goal in all five games. That’s off Clark. Look out here. The race board to Chari and a shot and they score. And the Penguins I think go back or doer with the goal to tie it. [Applause] Penguins just capitalize. The Penguins second period has been better. Now, this one here is it’s one of those that has to be stopped again. So, it’s two bad goals in this game. Yes, there’s a turnover, but look at sneak in under the pad of Forsber. The shot comes from down low. I don’t consider that as highscoring in because it’s a little bit too on the angle. You can see Forsber just elevate his body just the puck shot ahead and a break for Biffield in the clear and a save by Sheilops on Biffield missing call. So here we go the other way and you see there’s the speed of Biffield becoming a factor. This is the first of three high dangers and the Penguins only had five. So the Kings were more dangerous but the Penguins able to tie it up. Kings are one and one when tied after two. At the line, CC enters the shot off ankles in front. Now back at the line again. CC winds, shoots, and off the crossbar on the shot. This is the closest John was talking about. Third time of the game off the post. Stops to make a play now for more. And then the across. Dowy shoots it. Rebound by Field and it goes out of play. And a penalty has been called. A hook I believe on the Penguins. Wthers Boon trying to clear it. Look out here. Raquel in with a shot by Raquel off the crossbar and they jam it in and a short-handed goal by Pittsburgh. And it’s 32. And right here the Kings have nobody to blame but themselves. And then the counterattacks were there. And you’ll see the speed here. The Kings end up confused. They don’t sense the danger and that the shot by Raquel is just perfect. Of course, the put back not there, but you can see just enough room at the post. So, the end result is a jam. It’s not a high danger area. You’ve got to get that post covered there. You’ve got to jam it up. You’ve got to seal it up. And the Kings unable to do that. And normally that would be my focus in front. Two good chances there for the Kings and the Penguins back at full strength. Here they come in on goal. Forsber down. Makes a save on Russ. Father Spoon now on for Brian Ross. Duman gets back and a scramble. They jam away. Forsber down and he keeps it out. Carlson in the middle for Raquel. Broken up by Lefurriier. He gets it back in the clear. shoots and a save by Sheiloff. Time here to get the puck. Broken up. Give and go and then perfect pass. Sheilops stays at home here. The pass was hard. It was accurate. Once again on the face off and wins it back. New England centered around Russ swarmed. Keep with it in front. defended well. Wther spoon around and now Crosby, he’s got an empty net. Look, and he scores from center ice. The captain makes it 42. He won the face off initially, but the Kings had a good jump. Third period for the Kings. No question there. But they seem connected here even though Kempe keeps it in. Watch the Penguins. They’re supporting. They’re around. They know exactly where they’re going to clear the zone. And that gave Crosby all kinds of time to get the empty net. Very alert play here defensively to the first [Music] and Edmonson tracks it down. Gives it away. Brazo shoots it. Stopped by Forsber. And that will do it. So Sheilob good down the stretch and the Penguins improved to three and two.

charmin goals
I hate to say it but the Kings looked faster without Kopitar. Byfield might just be Joe Thorton-light at this point. Kempe looked like he's worth 7 mil per and that's being nice. Oh and fire Hiller!! Have a good day!
Forsberg is not it
Fire Hiller fire Holland your telling me they couldn’t call up Portillo he should start next game please don’t play Copley he’s horrible. Helenius can’t slake should NOT be in the NHL by no means Danault can’t be on the first line with him centering that line they had nothing going tonight at all he has problems on the 3rd line. sad loss 3 very weak goals should’ve been a shutout.
LET'S GO DODGERS!!! 💙😎💙😎💙
