Six games without a win. Then Adrian Kempe and Erik Gustafsson sparked Los Angeles’ scoring. “Seeing the pucks go in, I think, helped everyone a lot,” Kempe says after a 5-2 victory over Washington in the NHL.

Los Angeles has had a disastrous start to the season, with six straight losses and the fewest goals scored of any team in the NHL.

Last night, the team finally broke through.

After falling behind 0–2, Los Angeles scored five straight goals. Adrian Kempe scored two of them.

"It is of course difficult to play with great confidence when you have not won a single game," the Swede says of the shaky start to the season.

Swedish teammate Erik Gustafsson scored an important goal to make it 3–2 - his first of the season.
