Separating the Kings from the Islanders even further was Trevor Moore, who took a Phillip Danault pass in the slot and beat Ilya Sorokin above the blocker for his eighth goal of the season. The goal for Iafallo marked his 10th of the season, making him the ninth Kings player to have double-digit goals this season. Next, exactly one minute later, Alex Iafallo netted another power-play goal for the Kings, putting away a goal with an empty net after a Viktor Arvidsson shot off the post landed on his stick next to the net. Drew Doughty gave the Kings lead with a 5-on-3 power-play goal, netting his fourth goal of the season with a cannon of a one-timer. The Kings went on to take the lead and double it in a matter of just one minute midway into the period. The goal for Lizotte was substantial as it tied a career-high in goals (10) and gave the center 30 points (10-20=30) on the season, a new career high. The Kings evened game just under two minutes when Sean Walker threw a wrist shot towards the net that Blake Lizotte tipped in. There, the Kings erupted for four goals and put a stranglehold on the game.
Scoreless the rest of the first period would go and into the middle stanza the game went. The Kings went down early, surrendering the first goal 11:45 into the first period as Pierre Engvall beat Joonas Korpisalo on a 2-on-1 to give the away team the first lead of the game. In their second game of a seven-game home stand, the Kings leaned on an explosive second period to get by the Eastern Conference's eighth-seeded Islanders. The Kings extended their point-streak to seven games on Tuesday with a decisive 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders.
