Kings Power Past Columbus At Crypto.com Arena
Quinton Byfield provided a highlight goal late in the first that seemed to be the beginning of the end for the Jackets on Tuesday night. Pierre-Luc Dubois scored two goals, while Kevin Fiala and Drew Doughty chipped in goals as well to beat Columbus 5-1. There isn't much to talk about for this game, other than the fact that both teams had goals called back for coach's challenges.
Adam Boqvist scored his first goal of the season when it was 2-0 Kings to draw to within one, but that's as close as the game would be. The Jackets would lose this one against a very tough LA Kings team.
