New York. Los Angeles Swedish kings Victor Arvidsson and Adrian Kempe continue to shine as befits a Hollywood star.
And in last night’s derby match against the Anaheim club, Arvi scored two new goals and one Kimbe.
The last few matches have undoubtedly gone well. It’s fun,” Victor tells Sportbladet after winning 6-3 at the Honda Center.
This is what it looked like a week ago. Los Angeles Kings win, and the blue and yellow duo Adrian Kempe and Victor Arvidsson score the goals. The former even scored four goals against Pittsburgh last Saturday and also went on to net against Buffalo and Anaheim. The score is now eight complete hits in the last four games – and 28 total.
“Yeah Quimby… This club is on fire,” Arvidson says when we reach him on the phone in Southern California.
But “Hackspetten från Kusmark” is also interesting. He scored a goal the day before yesterday and followed it up with two goals in the derby last night, at least one of which was really impressive.
– The last few games have gone so well I had to hang up some pucks. He says it’s fun.
The Kings have been on alert since their return from the All-Star break. While many others suffer from ring rust, Hollywood royalty have seen anything more alert by separator.
It’s about being very competitive in a team with a lot of depth. There is a hard battle for places, if you are not good enough you will not be allowed to play. So it’s going to be very intense,” Arvy says.
With this third consecutive win, Kings shadow Vegas was at the top of the Pacific table. They are only one point.
