NHL Highlights | Lightning vs. Kings – March 23, 2024
Adrian Kempe scored the opening goal and helped set up Vladislav Gavrikov’s OT-winner as the Los Angeles Kings survived a late comeback effort from the Tampa Bay Lightning, winning 4-3.
Good game, Kings! Wish TBL had gotten the W, but I was glad we got it to OT after being down 3-1. Talbot made some great saves and LA made some critical goals.
Big reason why I don't have any faith in the Lightning in the playoffs is their 5-on-5 play. If it wasn't for their power play, they wouldn't even come close to sniffing the playoffs. All 3 goals they scored tonight came with an extra man on the ice.
😁😁😁Did Kings announcer Nick Nickson say Bloody Gavrikov? I'm glad the Kings won in OT. Stamkos scored 2 goals. His goal with 46 seconds left in the 3rd period tied it 3-3. Gavrikov got a breakaway goal in OT with just 45 seconds into OT? Go Kings Go!
I thought the Kings were fantastic defensively this game. Certainly 5-on-5, at least. Although, I honestly think they were great on the penalty kill as well. Yes, the Lightning scored 2 power play goals, and tied the game on what was essentially a 6-on-4 with Lewis having broken his stick, but I think that's more of a credit to the Lightning's incredible power play, more than any defensive lapses on the Kings part.
When the Lightning scored their second goal to make it 3-2, I got flashbacks of the January 9th game between these two clubs, where the Kings surrendered two goals in the 3rd period, and ultimately lost 3-2 in OT. The Kings would of course, give up the equalizer with the Lightning's goalie pulled, on what was a near identical goal to the Lightning's second goal earlier in the period.
Going into the OT, I knew that only one thing mattered for the Kings, and that was possession. They needed to be the ones attacking to start the overtime, and not allow the Lightning to utilize their momentum offensively. The problem was, the Lightning had gottem the better of the Kings in the faceoff dot over the final two periods, which played a huge role in the Lightning's comback effort.
The Kings did end up winning the all-important opening faceoff, and from there, it was the Gavrikov show. He did all the work setting up the play, and Kempe made a smart move holding onto the puck to draw the defenders, to set up a streaking Gavrikov, who makes no mistake, and calls game! 📞
Kings sweep the home stand, and now the look to Monday for a tough matchup with the Canucks. Let's hope they keep things rolling!
Well cant win them all and when they have a off night the bolts still scratch out a point so all in all it wasn't that bad of a loss to me. Also we changed the lines up for this game ,lets out them back to the way they were please lol cheers.
NHL badly wants McDavid to win the scoring race so they make the 1st goal an own goal to remove Kucherov's assist so McDavid can win. Kucherov did everything on the first goal and no assist so McDavid can win the Ross.

I'm in awe of the intellectual firepower on display in this thread. It's like being in the presence of giants.👄
Go kings go go kings go go kings go
😍😍😍Kings blew 3-1 lead late in the 3rd period, but won it in OT 4-3. Go Kings Go!
Great break off in OT
At least we got a point
when a cowardly hyenа named kuсh sees a strong team, he immediately disappears somewhere😆😆😆
Where’s the Leafs Highlights??
Pay Stamkos whatever he wants
These 2 always play tight games. seems like they always go into OT! Kings getting hot at the right time.

Гавриков шустро от стамескина убежал😀
I can’t get over how good byfield has become. One of the best players every night. So happy for him
😊

Защитники медлительные и неповоротливые.
gg
Рад за Гаврикова👍
Коментор говорит:
powerplay girl!
Я: ась? Чиво?😂
Очень весьма хорошая игра.. Россияне молодцы в каждой команде НХЛ..Но Гавриков красава ❤
Phew… that was a close one, BUT THE KINGS WIN!!!

Этот ,,самый лучший вратарь " поражает своим мастерством!!!😂

Right. Leave Stamkos by himself. Perfect strategy.
Second goal was Matt Roy scoring on his own goaltender, not Kucherov.
Tampax go,go!😀😁😂🤣
Гавриков конечно красава. Основной защитник. И Кучеров очки набрал. А то Макдевид не остаёт и даже неиного сократил отставание, на 1 очко
Poor Vas, my fav goalie

Не лучшая игра Василевского
This was stressful at end, I was in a little disbelief when the lightning tied it but went crazy excited when Gavrikov ended it early in overtime!
81 Черняк, олень конечно, кто так играет то 🤣?!
Гаврик зарешал
Молнии поздно пошли. Стэмкос мух в плове не ловит.
Мертвый Василевский,и бездарь Чернак,вот залог этого поражения.Надеюсь обоих в следующем сезоне попрут из команды.
Kuch/stamkos saved our discords parlay 🐐😂 that play to tie was dirty
Почему Кучерову не засчитали один пас на Поинта?
Бедная Тампа, без Куча совсем не густо, про оборону в этом сезоне вообще молчу… Рад за Гаврикова, он заслужил свои лавры)
Ну хоть у Никиты 2 очка😂
LA😄👏👏👏👏👏👏✊🤝✌😎
Гавриков,красава👍
OT весёлый…профукали на ровном месте.
