Kings Clinch Playoff Berth With 5-3 Victory Over Kraken
14 Apr
Summary
- Quinton Byfield scored two goals for the Kings.
- Anton Forsberg made 28 saves in the Kings' victory.
- Kings secured their fifth consecutive playoff appearance.

The Los Angeles Kings have officially clinched a playoff spot following their 5-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Monday night. Quinton Byfield was a key player, scoring two goals, and goaltender Anton Forsberg made 28 saves to secure the win. This victory extends the Kings' current winning streak to five games and marks their fifth consecutive appearance in the postseason.
With this win, the Kings are positioned for the second Western Conference wild card spot. Their playoff berth was confirmed when Nashville lost to San Jose earlier in the evening, which also eliminated both the Predators and the Sharks. Seattle's goals came from Adam Larsson, Frederick Gaudreau, and Bobby McMann, all in the third period, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Kings' lead. The Kraken have now lost to Los Angeles for the first time this season.
