Game review

The Los Angeles Kings beat the Ottawa Senators 6-5, with the game decided in the fourth period after a four-goal Kings second and a four-goal Ottawa third.

Artemi Panarin scored for Los Angeles, and Drew Doughty posted three assists and three points. Dylan Cozens led Ottawa with two goals and three points, while Tim Stutzle added three assists. The Kings’ edge came from controlling the shot count and converting two of six power plays; Ottawa scored once on three chances and both teams finished at 33.3 percent with the man advantage. Ottawa blocked more shots, threw more hits and had more takeaways, but Los Angeles won more faceoffs and had the finishing touch.

For bettors, the Kings covered the closing 1.5 spread by 2.5, and the 5.5 total went over by 5.5.
