New York Rangers at Los Angeles Kings
· National Hockey LeagueFiala scores 2, Kuemper has 22 saves as Kings beat Rangers 3-1 to extend home point streak to 12-0-3
Phillip Danault also scored as the Kings extended their home point streak to 15 games (12-0-3). Los Angeles is the second team in the NHL to have a home streak of at least 15 games, joining Washington (11-0-5).
J. T. Miller scored for New York, and Igor Shesterkin finished with 30 saves. The Rangers have lost four of their last five games.
Miller put New York ahead 1-0 at 2:10 of the second period with a goal awarded after a review. It initially appeared a sprawled Kuemper kept the puck out with a sweeping right pad. However, it was called a goal by the situation room in Toronto after replays showed the puck crossed the line before the goalie's right skate swept it away.
Fiala tied it on a power play with 9:06 left in the middle period on a deflection from the right doorstep.
Danault, playing in his 700th NHL game, put the Kings ahead on their second power-play goal of the night as he put in the rebound with 2:12 to go in the second.
Fiala added an empty-netter for his second of the night with 15.1 seconds remaining.
Kings: Los Angeles won for the ninth time in 10 games and moved two points ahead of Edmonton for second place in the Pacific Division.
LA wins series 2-0
