Kempe’s second goal of game lifts Kings past Minnesota 7-6

Associated Press  

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Adrian Kempe’s second goal of the night broke a tie in the third period as the Los Angeles Kings recovered after giving up a two-goal lead and beat the Minnesota Wild 7-6 Saturday night for their first win of the season. I’m not sure that we’re going to give six goals up and win a game again this year,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. A casualty of Minnesota’s salary cap issues, Fiala was traded to Los Angeles in the offseason after establishing career highs in goals, assists and points while playing in every Wild game last season. No Minnesota defender was nearby on the Kings’ first three goals and Iafallo’s slap shot handcuffed an unscreened Fleury late leading to Wild fans booing their team off the ice after the first period for the second straight game.
