Zach Dooley analyzes the LA Kings dropping to 0-2-2 on the season following another one-goal loss, falling to the Vegas Golden Knights in overtime. Despite strong goaltending from Darcy Kuemper, the Kings failed to capitalize on key opportunities, including missing out on a critical 5-on-3 power play for the second consecutive game.
