Well, this one certainly had potential by the end of the second period, when it was dead-locked at 2-2. But then the Los Angeles Kings remembered that they are in the middle of a playoff hunt and decided to bombard the Jets with three unanswered goals in the third.
It didn't help matters that the Jets allowed the Kings three power-play goals and a short-handed tally in case the they weren't feeling charitable enough already.
Mathieu Perreault got into double digits with his 11th and Patrik Laine ended his goal-scoring slump when he got his 34th on a five-on-three power-play.
Dustin Byfuglien suffered a lower-body injury when he collided with the Kings' Jeff Carter and had to leave the game.
