Watson-Brawn, Kings upping physicality into playoffs

Ben Poisson added after the victory Thursday night that the game was the team’s best so far and a lot of that had to do with them sticking around physically. It was a theme from the start that these two teams were willing to throw their bodies around because that’s what playoff hockey is all about. Multiple dust-ups on Thursday were evidence that the Kings are ready for the postseason play that gets pretty physical at times. Liam Watson-Brawn had a few big defensive plays this series but was also responsible for a lot of the rough stuff.
