On Thursday, Kings coach Darryl Sutter called out Kopitar in particular, saying he shuffled the lines to try to get a spark not being provided by the top line at times, a line centered by Kopitar, according to NHL.com.

"Partway through the first period, once I recognized guys didn't have their game; it wasn't just Mike [Richards] and [Williams], it was a lot of guys. Jeff played a lot with Kyle and Trevor [Lewis]," Sutter said. "[Stoll] played with everybody. Basically we were trying to manage [Kopitar's] game."

The Rangers hung with the Kings for the most part by using their speed. Both goals came off plays where New York outskated the Kings.

"Their best chances came off of their speed," Dominic Brown, the Kings' captain told NHL.com. "We need to find a way, much like we did against Chicago, in a similar way, [forward Brandon] Saad, in particular, gave us trouble in Chicago; he's fast. It's about getting in their way, also managing the puck a lot better than we did.

"I think that can eliminate some of the threat of their speed. They're still going to have pockets and space to do it throughout the game. But where we can limit them is through the neutral zone, forcing them to dump the puck in more."

The Rangers want to pressure L.A. with even more speed. They felt they got away from it as the game went on.

"I think in the first period, we did a great job of using our speed, getting pucks deep, also getting pucks at the net, which gave us some offensive time, a couple faceoffs in the offensive zone," Hagelin said. "In the third [period] we had way too many turnovers, didn't get deep enough in their zone. They're a good team. If you give them time to skate with the puck, time to spend a lot of time in our end, they're going to do a good job."

Rangers coach Alain Vigneault cautioned that it is not a matter of merely skating faster, but it is using their superior speed with a clear purpose in mind.

"We need to play to our strengths," he said. "Let me put it another way: We need to find a way to play to our strengths. They're probably the best opponent we've met. For us to win, we're going to have to find a way to play to our strengths. Speed is definitely one of them."
