As in the first game on March 4 in Columbus, the @LAKings scored first - former Captain Dustin Brown’s 9th goal and 28th point (9-19), from Blake Lizotte at even strength, 1:41 into the game. 1-0 Kings. #LAKvsCBJ
Unlike the first meeting, the @lakings scored to take a 2-0 lead; it was number 24 Phillip Danault’s 24th goal and 48th point (24-24), assisted by Viktor Arvidsson and (Thousand Oaks native) Trevor Moore at 7:02 1st, even strength. #LAKvsCBJ
53 seconds into the middle frame, Sean Kuraly (formerly of Boston) scored his 13th of the season and 29th point (13-16), assisted by Carson Meyer and Gustav Nyquist, to halve LA’s lead to 2-1. No one else scored and LA got its win. #LAKvsCBJ
What it means: Vegas once again has a game in hand on the @LAKings but the Kings are 3 points up on the @GoldenKnights. Vegas’s point ceiling is now 99; LA’s is 100. If both teams win out, LA would get 3rd. And here is the bigger part of this: #LAKvsCBJ
Both wildcards - @PredsNHL and @DallasStars - won in regulation. Both already had more points than LA AND VGK (89) but both winning gave both teams 91 points in 75 games.

Vegas has 87 points in 76 games. Keep reading: #LAKvsCBJ
If Dallas and Nashville win out, their point ceiling is 105. Each. LA can only get to 100; Vegas can only get to 99. Which means…

Once NSH/DAL get to 101, they have at least the wildcards. Whichever team does not get 3rd in the Pacific…would be out. #LAKvsCBJ (more)
…and Nashville and Dallas both have a game in hand on Vegas (and two on L.A.)

That’s how momentous it was for LA to win its game after Vegas lost - in regulation- its game. #LAKvsCBJ

It’s rare that a modern day hockey expansion team misses its first postseason in its 5th season; it could happen this year, and if it does - Saturday, April 16, 2022 was the fulcrum point. #VGKvsNJD 1/14
For on 4/16/22, the @GoldenKnights played at the @EdmontonOilers in a game it didn’t even have to win in order to get back into playoff position…Vegas started that day a point back of the @LAKings, and having played one game less than LA… #VGKvsNJD 2/14
With the #NHL tiebreaker system as it is, the @GoldenKnights - with an overtime or shootout loss - would have tied the @LAKings in points and games…and since VGK had more regulation wins than LA, Vegas would’ve been 3rd and… #VGKvsNJD 3/14

Interesting matchup tonight at @cryptocomarena by two playoff bubble teams. @BlueJacketsNHL visit, having won 2 in a row and 3 of 4, but if the @Capitals get at least a point at @CanadiensMTL, the Blue Jackets will be officially eliminated. #LAKvsCBJ
Meanwhile, the host @LAKings have lost 4 of their last 5 - with all 4 losses this month, and in regulation - and if the @GoldenKnights get even a point at @EdmontonOilers, LA will be outside the playoffs… #LAKvsCBJ
In LA’s case, outside the playoffs does not mean eliminated…but a tie between LA and Vegas favors Vegas (game in hand and regulation wins) and if LA drops out of 3rd, they have to deal with Dallas, who has 89 points and hosts San Jose. LA has 88. #LAKvsCBJ
