The LA Kings made it 4-for-4 on their current roadtrip, as they skated to a 1-0 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday evening at Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata, Ontario.
On just the second total shot on goal of the period, coming nearly 10 minutes into the game, forward Alex Laferriere got to the front of the net and deflected a point shot from defenseman Mikey Anderson past Ottawa goaltender Linus Ullmark and in to open the scoring. Laferriere’s goal was his second off a deflection in as many games and his fifth goal overall this season, giving the Kings a 1-0 lead on the road.
The second and third periods came and went without a goal for either club, as the Kings secured their lowest-scoring victory of the season. Ottawa looked the more threatening side throughout the final 40 minutes, but Kings goaltender Anton Forsberg was big on several occasions between the pipes to seal the victory. Forsberg made 17 saves in total, but several were from threatening areas. The performance earned him his first shutout as a member of the Kings organization, coming in the city he spent the last four years of his career in.
Hear from Forsberg, Anderson and Head Coach Jim Hiller after tonight’s victory.
