Los Angeles Kings staged a spirited comeback against the Florida Panthers, winning the match 2-1. In the third period, Samuel Helenius scored his first career NHL goal to level the score, followed closely by Adrian Kempe, who continued his scoring streak with a goal from Kevin Fiala's assist, securing the victory for the Kings. Goaltender Darcy Kuemper was instrumental, saving 26 shots, while the Kings struggled offensively, managing only two goals or fewer in seven of their last eight games.

On the other side, the Panthers, after a solid win against Anaheim, failed to maintain momentum, as Evan Rodrigues netted a power-play goal, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Kings' late surge. Spencer Knight also made 26 saves in a hard-fought effort for the Panthers.
