Kempe scores twice late as Kings spoil 'Jaromir Jagr Day' with 2-1 win over Penguins
Adrian Kempe scored twice in the third period as the Los Angeles Kings rallied past the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Adrian Kempe scored twice in the third period, including a short-handed go-ahead goal with 3:10 to play as the Los Angeles Kings rallied past the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 on Sunday night.
The Kings won their third straight to finish off a four-game road trip by beating the Penguins on a night Pittsburgh honored franchise icon Jaromir Jagr, who had his No. 68 retired during a pregame ceremony.
Sidney Crosby scored his 31st goal of the season for Pittsburgh with a power-play goal late in the first period but the Penguins let a chance to build momentum at the start of a pivotal four-game homestand slip away over the final 20 minutes.
Kempe tied it with 6:11 to play with a slap shot from the point that appeared to deflect off Pittsburgh's Rickard Rakell to get past Tristan Jarry.
