Carl Grundstrom scored his second NHL goal in his second career game as the Kings hold on to beat the Ducks.
3-2 Sunday night in a meeting of once-powerful rivals going through nightmare seasons.
Jakob Silfverberg and Daniel Sprong scored for the 14th-place Ducks, who followed up an impressive performance against Montreal with a lifeless effort against their neighbours. Ryan Miller stopped 22 shots. The Kings dominated the opening frame, holding Anaheim to two shots and taking a 3-1 lead when Grundstrom nimbly converted Adrian Kempe’s pass on a rush. Grundstrom, a 21-year-old Swede who came up from the AHL on Friday, joined Brian Boyle as the only rookies in Kings history to score a goal in each of their first two games.
The Ducks couldn’t even it late, losing to the Kings for just the 10th time in their last 27 meetings. Los Angeles also won the first meeting of season back on Nov. 6, but these teams have since fallen into the bottom two spots in the Western Conference standings.
