Dustin Brown would get the game to 3-1 around the midway mark of the frame though, taking the puck off a turnover in the Kings’ end and going back the other way on a breakaway, deking out Saros. Los Angeles took over a bit after that and controlled some of the momentum but it remained 3-1 after 40 minutes. After the Kings continued to press in the third period, Martin Frk scored on a power play midway through the frame, beating Saros with a well-placed shot.
He quite literally has the hardest shot in hockey, this was bound to happen. @Frky91 💪 #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/gw55yP8z1V
