Unfortunately for us, he brought his A-game today. We skated way better. “We forechecked well, way better. “Obviously, there is the fact we gave up five goals, and you don’t want to do that.

Connor was then denied before Kempe beat Hellebuyck five-hole, leading to a must-score attempt for Wheeler but he could not beat Copley, giving the Kings the victory. It was the first career shorthanded goal for Stenlund in his 104th NHL game. Both were given roughing penalties while Niederreiter also received a minor penalty for an illegal check to the head as the crowd roared. “We got to get the power play going clearly, and he was good with the role we asked him to play on the power play. He goes to the net and finishes checks, and I thought for our first game with us, I thought he was very good.” The Kings wasted no time cutting into that lead in the second. Morrissey picked up his 50th assist of the season on the play. Blake Wheeler was credited with his 600th career assist on the play.

Mark Scheifele poked it back into the crease, and Morrissey raced in and banged it home for his 12th of the season - and Winnipeg's first five-on-five goal in 190:23 of game play. It was Stenlund's first goal since January 22, and it came with eight minutes to go in an eventful second. Then, just under 90 seconds later, he redirected a Drew Doughty shot past Connor Hellebuyck to complete the hat trick and tie the game at three. Connor's 27th was also assisted by Morrissey, his 49th assist of the season. The tally also gave Morrissey a new career-high in goals We played well," said Josh Morrissey, who had two goals and four points for the Jets in the loss. It's the league-leading fourth time that Los Angeles has come back from a multi-goal deficit in the third period to win a game this season, and the Kings erased two two-goal deficits in the game overall.
