Time for some payback hopefully? No reason the Kings can't beat this team.

Need these 2 points before they head out on the road again. Short road trip but they do have a back-to-back next week.

The new and improved Kings power play strikes again. Stoll makes it 1-0 Kings.

Someone has to provide support the minute Muzzin jumps up on a play

That or Muzzin needs to stop jumping up into the play. That seems to be when he makes his mistakes getting the puck taken away or his shot blocked. Doesn't get the puck to the goal very often. I've given him a pass a lot of games because of his inexperience can't use that excuse any longer. If he is going to be Doughty's partner of defense he needs to be the stay at home guy and let Doughty do the jumping up into the play.

Absolutely agree

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

The review of Lewis' goal is sure taking a lot of time. But they found nothing and the Kings regain the lead 2-1.

Kings like playing aam short tonight

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Well they didn't do so hot on that PK. But the Kings get that one right back. Pearson with his first goal in quite a few games.

20 minutes to go Kings. Play like it's tied 0-0.

Kings need to get an empty net goal some time this year

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Yeah Dav, I agree. Lost far too many faceoffs late in the game. Can't get the puck going to the empty net if you can't gain control. Good win nonetheless.

Nice win boys.

Thank you, Quick.
What a clutch goalie.

I still have to pinch myself that the Kings have that kind of goaltender after watching them get beat year after year by other teams' clutch goalies.
