Cam Talbot was pulled after allowing his fifth goal on 14 shots.
“We were just flat. We gave up way too many chances and we didn’t check hard enough,” Smith said. “And that’s on me. Our preparation to start the game starts with me as the coach, and that’s certainly unacceptable, but my job is to make sure these guys are ready to play.
Talbot was pulled after allowing his fifth goal on 14 shots. Kevin Fiala fired it home on the power play at 12:55 of the second to give the Kings a four-goal lead, and that’s when Smith decided to make the change. It wasn’t Talbot’s fault, but he wasn’t great, either.Article content This was a frustrating night for the Senators in a lot of ways. They couldn’t seem to get anything going and the Kings did a good job bottling up the defensive zone. But the Senators have to be harder to play against if they’re to have any chance of success.
Copley recorded his only career shutout against the Senators on Dec. 22, 2018 while with the Washington Capitals. The Senators didn’t test him nearly enough and when they did he was there to make the saves. Viktor Arvidsson’s second of the game at 11:26 gave the Kings a 4-1 lead. That beat Talbot on the glove side and was the only one you could say he should have had. Earlier, Arvidsson scored on the Kings’ first power play at 8:43.
