Darcy Kuemper serves up shutout as Kings beat Devils

darcy kuemper

Darcy Kuemper made 33 saves for the Los Angeles Kings in a 3-0 win against the visiting New Jersey Devils on Wednesday afternoon.

Kuemper earned his second shutout of the season and 33rd of his NHL career, moving him into sole possession of 12th place among active NHL goalies.

Andre Lee scored his first NHL goal and Quinton Byfield and Adrian Kempe also scored for the Kings, who have won three in a row and eight straight at home.

Jake Allen made 21 saves for the Devils, who have lost three straight in regulation for the first time this season.

New Jersey was coming off a 3-2 loss at the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday evening.

The Kings allowed a season-high 15 shots in the first period while taking nine of their own, but neither team could hit the net.

Playing in his 19th NHL game, Lee received a lofted pass from Jordan Spence and held off Devils defenseman Brett Pesce while driving to the net. Lee lifted the puck as he neared the crease and banked it off the crossbar to give the Kings a 1-0 lead at 6:23 of the second.

Timo Meier appeared to score with a spinning shot from the slot to tie it 1-1 with 7:54 remaining in the second, but the Kings challenged for goalie interference on Devils forward Stefan Noesen and the goal was overturned following a review.

The Kings limited the Devils to six shots in the second period, but managed just three of their own.

Byfield made it 2-0 at 11:01 of the third shortly after he exited the penalty box.

Phillip Danault chipped the puck ahead to Byfield and he lifted the puck over Allen’s left pad and under his glove from the left circle.

The Devils pulled their goalie with about 4 1/2 minutes left and Kempe scored into the empty net to make it 3-0 with 4:25 remaining.
