LOS ANGELES — The Vancouver Canucks lost for the first time under coach Bruce Boudreau, 2-1 in a shootout to the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena on Thursday.

Vancouver is 7-0-1 since Boudreau was hired to replace Travis Green on Dec. 5. The seven straight wins were tied for the longest streak in NHL history by a coach starting his tenure with a new team (Jacques Lemaire with the New Jersey Devils in 1993-94; Geoff Ward with the Calgary Flames in 2019-20).

Brendan Lemieux scored, and Jonathan Quick made 17 saves for the Kings (15-12-5), who are 5-2-1 in their past eight games. Viktor Arvidsson scored the deciding goal in the fifth round of the shootout.

Bo Horvat scored, and Jaroslav Halak made 34 saves for the Canucks (15-15-3), who were coming off a 2-1 overtime win at the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday.

Lemieux gave Los Angeles a 1-0 lead at 7:39 of the second period. After an aggressive forecheck by Blake Lizotte forced Canucks defenseman Luke Schenn into a turnover, Christian Wolanin got the puck at the left point and sent a shot that was redirected in by Lemieux.

Lemieux then had the chance to extend the lead 57 seconds into the third period, but his shot five-hole on a penalty shot was saved by Halak.

Horvat tied it 1-1 at 12:06 of the third. He redirected in a backdoor pass from a diving J.T. Miller on the power play.

Miller has scored 12 points (three goals, nine assists) on an eight-game point streak.

Horvat had an opportunity to win it for Vancouver at 2:14 of overtime, but his attempt on a breakaway was stopped by Quick.
