Byfield and Kempe both score twice, and the Kings score three times in the first 11 minutes on their way to a 6-1 victory on Tuesday night.
LOS ANGELES –– The Kings had lost bodies and games to the Nashville Predators this season, but that was of little import Tuesday night when they bookended a decisive 6-1 victory over Nashville with three goals in the first 11 minutes of the first period and three more in the third period at Crypto.com Arena.
Elsewhere in the Pacific Division, Calgary, Edmonton and Vegas all lost, while the Kings pieced together a wire-to-wire win. “I think it helps quite a bit,” Byfield, 19, said of his first career multi-goal and multi-point game. “Just having that feeling that I know I can score … is definitely a confidence-booster for me.”
Soon after Byfield’s first goal, defenseman Sean Durzi and Nashville forward Yakov Trenin fought in the Kings’ zone, a matchup that favored the more imposing Trenin.
