Winnipeg Jets at Los Angeles Kings
· National Hockey LeagueKopitar, Rittich lead the LA Kings' rebound for a 4-1 win over the NHL-leading Winnipeg Jets

Phillip Danault and Kevin Fiala also scored, and Adrian Kempe added an empty-net goal for the Kings.
Gabriel Vilardi scored against his former team for the Jets, who have lost four of seven since their 15-1-0 start to the season. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 30 shots in the fourth game on Winnipeg's six-game trip.
Rittich was Hellebuyck’s backup for the 2022-23 Jets.
Kopitar redirected Kempe's shot from the point on the power play just 1:52 in. Danault then skated unimpeded across Winnipeg's goal mouth in the second for his second goal of the season, ending a 10-game drought.
Two minutes later, Vilardi lifted a rebound nine seconds into a power play for Winnipeg's first goal.
But early in the third, Fiala flung a puck toward the net and got credit for his eighth goal when it banked in off Haydn Fleury's skate. Los Angeles' Swiss forward ended an eight-game goal drought.
Kings: A much-needed rebound performance after their humiliating 7-2 loss to cellar-dwelling San Jose.
LA leads series 1-0
