The Kings have lost four of five.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Eichel and Pavel Dorofeyev each had a goal and an assist for the Golden Knights. Mitch Marner scored a goal for his 799th career point and Ivan Barbashev extended his points streak to five games with two assists.<\/p>\n<p>Barbashev&#8217;s four-game goal streak, however, ended. Eichel extended his points streak to four games and now has 200 assists in a Golden Knights uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Vegas&#8217; Adin Hill made 32 saves for his 100th career victory, his most stops since having 34 on March 15, 2025, against Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>Trevor Moore scored for the Kings and Anton Forsberg stopped 18 shots. Adrian Kempe&#8217;s eight-game points streak ended.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Knights won despite taking six penalties, though one was a fighting major shared by both teams. Los Angeles didn&#8217;t make Vegas pay, going 0 of 5 on the power play. The last time the Golden Knights committed six penalties was Nov. 20 against Utah, also a 4-1 victory.<\/p>\n<p>Kings forward Andrei Kuzmenko took a puck in the face with 1:42 left in the first period and was taken to the locker room. He returned, however, in the second.<\/p>\n<p>Artemi Panarin, acquired by the Kings on Wednesday in a trade with the Rangers, as expected was not in the lineup. He had 57 points in 52 games for New York, but hadn&#8217;t played or practiced in about a week.<\/p>\n<p>Up next<\/p>\n<p>Kings: Host the Golden Knights on Feb. 25.<\/p>\n<p>Golden Knights: Visit the Kings on Feb. 25.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Stone had a goal and two assists and the Vegas Golden Knights took control early Thursday night&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450174,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5126],"tags":[3039,5,186,1760,240,5303,793,145,5304,5302,4,43,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-450173","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-kings","8":"tag-artemi-panarin","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-kings","11":"tag-la","12":"tag-la-kings","13":"tag-lakings","14":"tag-los-angeles","15":"tag-los-angeles-kings","16":"tag-losangeles","17":"tag-losangeleskings","18":"tag-nhl","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-vegas-golden-knights"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116029186630300117","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
