Los Angeles Kings defenseman Clarke scored his first NHL power-play goal, putting the team ahead 1-0 against Utah. Edmundson extended the lead to 2-0 before Keller scored for Utah, making it 2-1. Bjugstad highlighted the need for the Kings to find ways to win close games. Fiala was benched for taking two penalties, leading to Keller’s goal. Coach Hiller expressed concern over the team’s high number of penalties, with the Kings conceding 39 power plays in nine games. Fiala’s playing time was not specifically discussed, but Hiller emphasized the consequences of too many penalties. The Kings need to address this issue to improve their performance in future games.
