Kings tie it late before losing to Golden Knights in OT

LOS ANGELES — The Kings teased the crowd on hand and stole a point but stumbled 25 seconds into overtime, slipping in a 3-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena.

The Kings have dropped four of their past five games and 12 of their past 17.

They entered – and exited – the game buoyed by “pity points,” as captain Anže Kopitar has described them. Only three teams have accumulated fewer wins and only one has compiled fewer in regulation so far this season.
