The Los Angeles Kings honored firefighters and first responders in the first game back in their downtown arena since the catastrophic wildfires that devastated large parts of Los Angeles.

The circumstances are particularly meaningful for Penguins forward Blake Lizotte, who started his NHL career with the Kings and had 106 points (37 goals, 69 assists) in 320 games for them. This will be his first game at Crypto.com Arena as a visitor, but the LAFD hat he wore after Monday’s morning skate reflected the larger circumstances.

Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin scored milestone goals and the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated Los Angeles 5-1, snapping the Kings' nine-game home win streak.

LOS ANGELES -- Sidney Crosby had a goal and an assist to pass the 50-point mark for the 18th time in his NHL career in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 5-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena on Monday.

Kevin Hayes, Sidney Crosby and Anthony Beauvillier each had a goal and an assist to help the Pittsburgh Penguins end the Los Angeles Kings' nine-game home winning streak with a 5-1 victory on Monday night.
