Brad Marchand<\/a> scored two goals and Sam Reinhart<\/a> got the go-ahead goal on his 30th birthday in the Florida Panthers\u2019 5-2 victory<\/a> over the Kings<\/a> on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Anton Lundell got a shorthanded goal in the third period and Sam Bennett also scored for the back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Panthers, who rebounded from a 7-3 loss against the Ducks to get their first victory on their four-game West Coast road trip.<\/p>\n

Marchand has scored a goal in three straight games since returning to the Panthers from a one-game absence to travel to Nova Scotia to support a close friend who lost his daughter to cancer last month. The veteran tied the game late in the first period after taking the puck from Anton Forsberg<\/a> behind the Kings\u2019 net, and he added his ninth goal of the season in the third.<\/p>\n

Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves.<\/p>\n

Anze Kopitar<\/a> got the first goal of his 20th NHL season and Corey Perry<\/a> also scored for the Kings, who have lost three of four.<\/p>\n

Forsberg stopped 19 shots for the Kings, who have started 1-4-2 at their downtown arena after being the NHL\u2019s best home team last season.<\/p>\n

Bennett put the Panthers ahead just 2:06 in, controlling and converting the rebound of Jeff Petry\u2019s long shot.<\/p>\n

Kopitar scored on the power play midway through the first, and Perry put the Kings ahead on a breakaway set up by a spectacular long pass from Mikey Anderson.<\/p>\n

Reinhardt put the Panthers back ahead in the second, getting to the slot and firing a backhand for his seventh goal.<\/p>\n

Lundell scored on a short-handed breakaway in the third after a turnover by Adrian Kempe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several members of the back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers<\/a> were the Kings\u2019 guests at the game, getting multiple loud ovations.<\/p>\n

Up next for Kings: <\/b>at Pittsburgh on Sunday to open a six-game trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brad Marchand scored two goals and Sam Reinhart got the go-ahead goal on his 30th birthday in the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":361892,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[175622,175621,106649,1319,1582,276,1323,42155,316,21132,2961,224,2444,5337,5948,554,57439,62104,159732,3355],"class_list":{"0":"post-361891","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-anton-forsberg","9":"tag-anton-lundell","10":"tag-anze-kopitar","11":"tag-brad-marchand","12":"tag-ca","13":"tag-california","14":"tag-florida-panthers","15":"tag-goal","16":"tag-home","17":"tag-king","18":"tag-la","19":"tag-los-angeles","20":"tag-los-angeles-times","21":"tag-losangeles","22":"tag-loss","23":"tag-shot","24":"tag-straight-game","25":"tag-struggle","26":"tag-third-period","27":"tag-victory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115507774336388520","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
