The Los Angeles Kings stole game in Anaheim against the Ducks, and they will look for another this Monday at 10 PM ET at Honda Center, in game two of the NHL second round playoffs series.
The Kings won game one at overtime with a tremendous save by Alec Martinez, who blocked a late shot with the net open.
“I guess I channeled my inner goalie, playing in the driveway when I was younger,” Martinez said Sunday after the latest round of congratulations for his game-saving block. “I just tried to get in front of it, and maybe got a little bit lucky, too.”
The Kings felt great playing at Anaheim; the atmosphere wasn’t that tough according to several players.
“I thought the atmosphere was great,” Kings forward Justin Williams said. “A lot of times when you’re on the road, all you want to hear is silence. But there wasn’t even much silence when we scored. There was a lot of Kings fans there and a lot of support for us, so that was the extra added element to the game. Usually when you score an overtime goal, it’s crickets in the building, and we heard a little something, so Kings fans are making their way down the freeway.”
The Ducks are 1.5 favorites in the puck line, while the game total is at 5 goals. The money line has Los Angeles listed +120 and Anaheim -132.
