WATCH: Kasper Simontaival scores twice in KalPa debut

After an injury delayed his KalPa debut, LA Kings prospect Kasper Simontaival scored twice on Friday.

Less than three minutes into the opening frame, LA Kings 2020 third-round Kasper Simontaival notched his first goal with his new team.

I said it in the subtweet to the above, but I love this play for a variety of reasons. Simontaival’s forechecking created the errant pass and was there for the put-back off the deflection.

A good start for the young forward. But wait, there’s more!

With approximately four minutes remaining in the second period and KalPa on the powerplay, Simontaival fires a rocket stickside and finds the back of the net for his second goal of the game.

Oh my, he scored again! This time on the powerplay. What a rocket! #Simontaival #GoKingsGo https://t.co/jVTRwiIQT6
