Kempe gave the Kings a 1-0 lead at 4:06 of the first period.
Kempe helped prevent the Blues from exiting their zone and the puck went to Anze Kopitar along the wall. Kopitar skated into the left circle and did a 360-degree spin before making a backhand pass to Kempe and he scored with a wrist shot from the inside edge of the left circle.

Kyrou brought the puck behind the Los Angeles net and passed to Leddy above the left circle. He skated into the high slot and scored with a slap shot.
Kings forward Alex Laferriere went to the penalty box for hooking Torey Krug at 4:36 of the second period, but the Kings had a 3-on-2 going the other way and Anderson-Dolan scored the rebound while short-handed to give Los Angeles a 2-1 lead at 5:39.
Buchnevich scored on a one-timer from the slot with two seconds remaining on the same power play to tie it 2-2 at 6:34.

Perunovich dropped a pass for Kyrou as he entered the Los Angeles zone and he had room to skate into the slot and score with a wrist shot.
