Kings vs Blue Jackets

Kings vs Blue Jackets played on March 9, 2026. Final score: Kings 5 - Blue Jackets 4. Reg. Season. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

Top fan take from @FlameRaptorRaven: “What a way to kick this off. 3 second in, Byfield is called for high sticking after taking Marchment’s stick into his own face. He was bleeding so it was a 4-minute double minor which would’ve led to a goal for Columbus if Anton Forsberg hadn’t been LOCKED-IN from the start. Thanks to Forsberg, LA managed to score the first goal. Panarin then doubled LA’s lead only for Columbus to finally beat Forsberg. Ironically, as the Kings gained more ground and began dictating pace, Forsberg’s play fell off just enough to let the Blue Jackets keep up. I don’t think this happened, but it was almost like Forsberg got complacent. Even with the Blue Jackets flatlining at points, they made the most of their chances and tied it up in the final minutes to send this game to overtime. Garland also looks like a perfect fit with the Blue Jackets, an amazing game from him. Kopitar inched closer to Marcel Dionne as Kempe and Dumoulin took over in the final periods and eventually won the game for LA.”
