Anaheim would get a power play early in the second period and Trevor Zegras would score to tie the game up.

The Ducks would then take a 2-1 lead on a goal by Gerald Mayhew. He flipped the puck into the Kings zone towards the net. Quick when to play the puck with his stick and whiffed. The puck went under his stick and into the back of the net.

In the final seconds of the game, Kaliyev cross-checked Josh Mahura and the teams came together. After some pushing and shoving a few penalties were handed out before the conclusion of the game. LA went on to win 4-2.
