Cole Krygier and Alex Laferriere both highlighted the LA Kings pipeline last week by recording their first professional goals.
2 firsts are better than 1! 🙌

In the Ontario Reign’s first game of a two-game series against the Abbotsford Canucks, Cole Krygier and Alex Laferriere both scored their first professional goals in the third period to tie the game and give the Reign the lead in the third period. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough as the Reign surrendered the game-tying goal late in the third period and the game-winning goal in overtime.
