Goal Games Highlight Visit Down Shot

Hockey Betting Lines

"When taking a shot on goal at this spot on the ice, players understand the danger and should expect that a good, hard, full-body check could be delivered. However, no player should expect that his head will be made the principal point of contact, whether intentionally or recklessly targeted," said department of player safety spokesman Brendan Shanahan.

 

"We have taken into account that Umberger suffered no significant injury on the play. We have also taken into consideration that Jacques has been suspended once before in his 166-game NHL career."

 

As a repeat offender, Jacques was penalized based on the number of games in the season rather than the number of days. He will forfeit $23,780.49 of his salary, which goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund and will not be eligible to return until January 15, when the Ducks take on Vancouver.

 

He forked over nearly $18,000 in salary for the original infraction.

 

Jonathan Bernier made 20 saves for the win.

 

Marcus Johansson scored twice for Washington, which has lost two straight since winning four consecutive contests.

 

Johansson recorded the first tally for the Capitals just 1:34 into the first period, but the Kings netted five straight goals to seize control.

 

"We had a strong start, we scored the first goal," Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin said. "After that we stopped playing."

 

Following a Capitals turnover, Dustin Brown found an open Kopitar in the slot and he tipped it home with 34 seconds left in opening period.

 

Williams scored on the power play midway through the third to make it 5-1 and Johansson's second goal came with 6:18 left in the contest.

 

The Kings are 11-0-0 this season when they score at least three goals.
