Forward Matt Roy finally found the back of the net after joining the LA Kings lineup for the past 15 games.... and it was worth the wait.

The forward sent a rocket of a one-timer from the blue line past Martin Jones.
"[Iafallo] got the puck to me there at the blue line and I just tried getting it on net," Roy said.

"We try our best to come out here and execute and luckily we did tonight."
"I think [Dustin Brown] or [Alec Martinez] grabbed the puck," he said. "Everyone was super happy for me."

Not only were his teammates super happy for him, but Kings fans were just as ecstatic.

First career goal, Matt Roy! Iafallo gloves a puck in the air, brings it to his feet and drops it for Roy. The rookie tees off of the feed, catching some of Jones' glove before deflecting into the net. 2-2, mid-2P. Brown also close to the action - but that's Roy's goal.

Tweet from @CoasterMatt: Woohoo! First @NHL goal for Matt Roy! #GoKingsGo

Ok @alex_faust and @JimFox19, do we believe in reverse jinxes? I remember a certain @LAKings broadcaster, not named Ron Burgundy, that said Matt Roy was still looking for his first career @NHL goal, early tonight... and BOOM! he gets his first #GoKingsGo
