With all going on this could be a tough game for the Kings. Voynov arrested, Gaborik, Lewis out, Muzzin off IR a day early to rush him into this game and the Sabers looking for redemption after last's nights game. I must admit I think the Kings could lose in a stinker

I wouldn't worry about it. I think last night's game took a lot out of the Sabres. They played hard and actually hung with Anaheim pretty well for the most part. Pulling within a goal with 5 minutes left likely lifted their spirits and then to still lose 4-1, I think they're going to be pretty burnt out.

Obviously there's no sympathy expected (or deserved) from west coast teams, but this is also not a team that's used to the travel demands of hitting the west coast.

I doubt it, the Kings have had plenty of time to get ready for this game, I don't think it'll be an issue

Cartsssssy! 1-0 Kings!

I am listening on the radio.
It seems the Sabers are just a step behind most of the time.

Power play for the Kings!

They're just not a very talented team, that's what it comes down to

 

[Cobiemonster]

Kings lead 1-0 after one period!

Kopi makes it 2-0 Kings! Nice to get that second goal

 

[davnlaguna]

Quick passes Rogie in shut ous.
Kings beat a team that they should.
Pearson may not have got a point but he was a key person in each goal. Or at least his big butt was

 

[Cobiemonster]

Congrats on the shutout record, Quickie!!! Kings win 2-0

Sabres with another respectable effort at least, even if nothing to show for it in the standings.

Hard to expect them to do much on a California swing though.
