Los Angeles Kings left wing Alex Turcotte led the way with three points during their victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday evening. Turcotte opened the scoring with a tip-in goal in the opening minute.

He's firmly in the Kings' top nine, which comes with good opportunities as the team sticks with an 11-forward, seven-defensemen alignment.

Throughout the five-game road trip, the Los Angeles Kings have had trouble putting the puck in the net, despite the fast starts and chances generated.

Turcotte put the Kings ahead 1-0 on the first shot of the game 51 seconds into the first period, beating defenseman Filip Hronek to the net on a 2-on-1 to redirect Kempe’s centering pass over the right pad of a sliding Demko.

Trevor Moore was injured against the New Jersey Devils during the Los Angeles Kings' second seven-game road trip of the year. Before the injury, Moore was seeing regular action on the Kings top forward line.

Turcotte scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Jets.
