In this segment of Inside the Play, linemates Martin Frk and Gabriel Vilardi talk through their tiebreaking goal against the Florida Panthers.
"As soon as Gabe has the puck low, that's the signal for me to find an open spot right in the slot," Frk explains to Fox.

The Kempe-Vilardi-Frk line executed a perfect zone possession on this occasion.
"The amount of times we've done this drill with [Player Development Coaches] Craig Johnson and Jarret Stoll... this is the exact play we work on in the development skates," Vilardi said.
Thanks to contributions by Frk and Vilardi, the Kings won the game 5-4. Frk scored another goal and was a +2, while Vilardi recorded a goal and an assist and was a +2 in his NHL debut, none the less.
