Adrian Kempe's late goal propelled the Los Angeles Kings to a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, marking their fourth consecutive win. The Kings maintained a strong defensive performance, with Darcy Kuemper saving 34 shots, ensuring Tampa Bay was scoreless for the final 58 and a half minutes of the game. Mikey Anderson opened the scoring for Los Angeles, matching his career-high with his fifth goal of the season.

Victor Hedman put Tampa Bay on the board early in the first period with a powerful shot, but the Lightning struggled offensively, scoring just four goals in their last three games. The Kings have now won 12 of their last 16 games, displaying impressive form as they head into their next matchup against the Flames.
