James van Riemsdyk #25 of the Philadelphia Flyers raises his arm in celebration of scoring in the third period.
“When you’re not scoring you’ve got to try to make sure you’re solid with the other aspects of your game,” van Riemsdyk said. “I think I’ve been trying to focus on that and do a good job of being strong on the walls, not turning pucks over, being responsible in my own end, things like that.”
Brian Elliott made 34 saves in the win.
“Tonight we played a good home game,” Elliott said. “We responded well from our effort last game (a 4-1 loss to Montreal Canadiens on Thursday).”
Dustin Brown scored the Kings’ lone goal.
“It’s obviously frustrating. We’re here to win games and anything else is disappointing,” Anze Kopitar said. “But at the same time, we’re making steps in the right direction. Going into some tough buildings, playing some fast teams that are higher up in the standings. We did some good stuff, but by no means is this satisfying.”
