Anderson-Dolan scored his first goal of the season midway through the first period with a shot that beat Reimer to the glove-side.

Anderson-Dolan also assisted on Kupari’s goal early in the third.

Veteran Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick is equally deft at turning away competitors for his job and shots on goal, defying time and chasing wins.
