The Los Angeles Kings found another forward combination to boost their offense in a tight game, but it’s unclear whether Adrian Kempe, Kevin Fiala and Quinton Byfield will remain together Wednesday night against the visiting Vancouver Canucks.Kempe joined Fiala and Byfield in the second period Monday night against the visiting Vegas Golden Knights and the trio helped rally Los Angeles to a 5-2 victory.The Kings scored four unanswered goals in the third period — the last three with Kempe, Fiala and Byfield on the ice together.”They made a big difference and looked really good doing it,” Kings coach Jim Hiller said. “I don’t know if we’ll see it again, or if we’ll see it again next game, or whenever, I’m sure at some point, but we’ll talk about it as a coaching staff.”Hiller first moved Kempe with Fiala and Byfield in the second period when the Kings were struggling to generate offense. Hiller thought Kempe gave the line a spark the last few shifts of the period, so he stayed with it in the third.”We don’t usually do that and we felt like we had them going,” Hiller said. “They had some energy, so let’s give them a run.”Byfield, who finished with a career-high four assists against Vegas, said Kempe fits in seamlessly with him and Fiala.”(Kempe) is one of the most underrated players in the NHL,” Byfield said. “Just being able to get him on our line, he plays a 200-foot game, plays the game the right way. … Just playing with those two guys, high-skill guys, you kind of just want to get them the puck.”Kempe has spent most of the season on a line centered by Anze Kopitar, but Hiller has been having difficulty adding a productive left wing.
