Wagner scores twice as Kings end Jets’ win streak, 4-1
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Kings haven’t looked like themselves very much lately.
Against the surging Winnipeg Jets, however, the Kings got back to their defensive roots and delivered one of their best performances in a disappointing season.
Austin Wagner scored twice and Los Angeles snapped a four-game losing streak Tuesday night with a 4-1 victory over the Jets.
“I don’t think there was any doubt in anyone’s mind that we should have won that hockey game,” said Kings defenceman Drew Doughty, who had an assist. “We played a full 60 minutes and it’s really good Kings hockey right there. We need to do it again. And again.”
