Dostal Stands Tall, Ducks Quack the Kings' Streak
Anaheim's secret weapon Lukas Dostal turned into a brick wall with 36 epic saves, tanking the Kings' shot at sealing a playoff spot. It was mayhem at the Honda Center as the Ducks rallied to a 3-1 victory, much to the dismay of the hopeful Kings. This underdog uprising was fueled by the scoring prowess of Frank Vatrano, Alex Killorn, and the comeback kid Trevor Zegras.
The Kings came in hot, riding a three-win wave, but met a roadblock. They're still clinging to a one-point lead over the Vegas Golden Knights for that coveted third place in the Pacific Division. It was young gun Akil Thomas putting the Kings up by one early on, but the Ducks regrouped, and Vatrano's slick backhand rebound slapped the tie. Then came the drama - Killorn's shot got axed for offside, but hey, he rebounded faster than your ex, slinging the Ducks into the lead just after the power play clocked out.
"The Ducks delivered a show, with Zegras flashing those skills after healing up from a broken ankle, extending the lead and grinding any Kings' celebrations to a halt," said an enthusiastic fan.
And that's the tea—Anaheim pulling off a stunner, and the Kings? Well, they've got some work to do if they're eyeing the playoffs.
