Penalty Box Parade Costs Kings
The Kings may have entered tonight with a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven series with the San Jose Sharks in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but they hadn’t played their best, particularly in Game 2 on Thursday. The Kings were lucky to be in the position they were in, and they needed [...]
Snatching Victory from the Jaws of Defeat — and the Sharks
Jarret Stoll was unable to play tonight and is out indefinitely with an undisclosed injury after taking a high hit from Raffi Torres late in the second period of the Kings’ 2-0 win over the San Jose Sharks in Game 1 on Tuesday, so taking his spot as the centre on the third line with [...]
That Voynov Guy’s Alright
Four days after finishing off the St. Louis Blues, the Kings opened up the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the San Jose Sharks tonight, with Darryl Sutter making no changes to the lineup.

Slava Lamp
Considering the Kings were coming off of a pair of wins to tie up this first-round series with the St. Louis Blues at two, and were coming off a very impressive, comeback win in Game 4 on Monday, it wouldn’t have been a surprise if Darryl Sutter elected to stick with the lineup that he [...]
A Brand New Series
With the Kings winning Game 3 on Saturday by a score of 1-0 to cut the St. Louis Blues’ lead in this series to 2-1, Darryl Sutter made no changes to the lineup for Game 4 today, as they looked to even this series up before heading back to St. Louis for Game 5. The [...]
By the Skin of Their Teeth
The Kings returned home tonight facing pretty much a must-win situation, after falling down 2-0 in this series against the St. Louis Blues by losing both Games 1 and 2 on the road. The Kings were just 8-12-2 on the road in the regular season, but were a 19-4-1 at home, the best home record [...]
