Rookie Clayton Keller scored Arizona's lone goal on Thursday night in a 4-1 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Kings at the Staples Center.
Trailing 4-0, Keller scored his third goal of the preseason during a Coyotes' power play at 10:54 of the third period. Max Domi set up the goal with a crisp, cross-slot pass from the top of the right circle.
The Coyotes were called for three penalties in the first period and trailed, 1-0, after 20 minutes.
"We started out really hot, going right at them, and then we got a couple penalties and that kind of killed our momentum," Keller said. "It's tough to come back from that, but I think as the game went on we kept battling. I think we can get a little bit better at executing. Once we do that we'll be good."
