A reminder that for those in the Kings’ TV coverage area, tonight’s Kings-Ducks game can be seen online by clicking here. Scoring and details will be updated on the blog throughout the game.
Before the game, the Kings made their second set of roster cuts, with more cuts expected to be announced tomorrow. Assigned to Manchester of the American Hockey League were forwards Andy Andreoff, Ray Kaunisto, Brandon Kozun and Linden Vey, defensemen Nicolas Deslauriers, David Kolomatis and Patrick Mullen and goalie Martin Jones. Tyler Toffoli was re-assigned to his junior team.
THIRD PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Quick against Deslauriers. Kevin Westgarth has not played since his second-period fight and is not on the Kings’ bench. No update on his status has been given yet.
Ducks 3, Kings 1: The Kings got on the scoreboard 5:43 into the third period. Jarret Stoll’s stretch pass found Andrei Loktionov in the neutral zone. Loktionov skated in alone and tucked the puck past Deslauriers with a backhand move.
End of game: The Kings outshot the Ducks 33-18 but went 0-for-6 on the power play (including two very brief chances) in the loss.
SECOND PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Quick against Deslauriers.
Ducks 1, Kings 0: The Ducks broke the scoreless tie 2:45 into the period, with Kyle Palmieri getting the even-strength goal off an assist from Maxime Macenauer. A centering attempt got a fortunate deflection in front of the net and beat Quick.
Ducks 2, Kings 0: The first of the Ducks’ two goals in the final minute came with 40 seconds remaining. A rebound came into the slot, where Andrew Gordon jumped on it all alone and beat Quick with a backhand wrist shot. Assists went to Andrew Cogliano and Devante Smith-Pelly.
Ducks 3, Kings 0: Just 11 seconds after their second goal, the Ducks took a three-goal lead on Patrick Maroon’s goal, with assists to Dan Sexton and Peter Holland.
FIRST PERIOD
In goal: It’s the Kings’ Jonathan Quick against the Ducks’ Jeff Deslauriers, with the Ducks going with a lineup heavy with young players and prospects.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Ducks 6-4 in the scoreless period. The Kings went 0-for-2 on the power play and 1-for-1 on the penalty kill.

@thelexsters, It has to do with broadcast rights. Any NHL game broadcast under the Kings name must be broadcast within the regional area designated for that team by their regional sports network, in this case, Fox Sports Network (FS WEST). It’s just ownership rights for the broadcast. It’s just to protect advertising revenue that ties to the broadcast of that team’s games.
Broadcasting this game in other markets, even online, would violate territorial rights of other networks. In other words, people might watch the Kings broadcast instead of their regional broadcast, which drops their ratings, which drops the value of their Advertising revenue.
Very serious stuff. Not to us though…

If this was last season, Toffoli might get to stay 9 games. We’re so stacked now that he gets sent back to Juniors early.
I wonder if maybe the way Schenn reacted after he was sent back down last year ( I believe he had a small slump) had something to do with it as well.
[Reply]
Quick is HUGE!!!
[Reply]
Agreed, definitely the team is deeper and the unusual travel schedule early on might have figured in the decision not to bring Toffoli along. Hoping he tears up the juniors.

Well considering we are playing our opening night roster for the most part, and the Ducks don’t have Selanne, Perry, Getzlaf, Hiller, Ryan…um, we should probably put up a little better of a fight, at least for the people that paid to go and watch.

We really need Doughty. I don’t want to wait 20 games to say “look we can win without him, or, we need him now!”. It seems like the disupute is years and in my opinion, Doughty has a right to choose the years; if the Kings are holding out based on the years cause they don’t want Kopitar and Doughty to be free agents at the same time, that’s a problem they need to work out. They need Doughty in camp. No what if’s or do we need him…get him signed and put the best team out now! We shouldn’t accept this as consumers.

Looks like they have been reading too many articles about how good they are supposed to be this season…
…and thought they just had to show up to win.

@neil,
Thank you… we should always expect the teams best effort, pre season or not. Were we saying no worries when the Kings were supposed to be one of the best teams in the league last year and then were in 10-11 place last year. We should never accept mediocrity. Winning/losing is relative to what is going on…uninspired/unmotivated play should not be tolerated. When you are the top .01% in the world and are paid like it, you should perform that way.

It’s great when you have possession of the puck behind the opposition net. It’s not so great when all 3 forwards are positioned behind the opposition net…

You’ve got to admit, the Ducks are such a good org. How many no-name or washed up goalies have they played since the second half of last season? Yet, they still did well. Now if only their fan base wasn’t the definition of “Bandwagoners”. And if you’re a Ducks fan reading this, it’s probably because you guys don’t have any blogs worth reading. AND, just check the attendance stats last year, just 4 years since winning the Cup.

@Dominick, Always the optimistic Dominick. I like it. That’s why I like you, you help balance me out because i’m always thinking negatively regarding the Kings. I hope you’re right!
Hickey showed a lot tonight. He isn’t afraid to pull the trigger and was decent in his own zone. Voynov has a little too much “dish” in his game, atm. Loktionov took over in stretches, made a great move to score the ONLY goal. The rest of the team looked flat or out of sinc. Brown was his usual hustling self but seemed lost with the new guys.

Well, they seemed flat and out of sync. I think the flu had more of an effect thatn we thought.

Missed frst 1/2 of the game. Delaurier was good covering down low but again, really not many quality shots from the Kings. Typical shot mentality with not too much to show for it. PP picking up where it left off. Kings need to learn how to handle the opposing “D” when they come out to challenge the man with the puck.
But must say bounces did not go Kings way either.
Hickey looked good. Did Martinez play???
Richardson buzzing around as usual.
Not too worried due to it is preseason but Kings better get the PP working. Saw a couple nice shovel passes that almost worked.
GKG.
[Reply]
Ugly, and I’m not sure Doughty would have made a difference. Seemed like just about everyone (except Loktionov and Hickey) was out of sync. Still time to get it together, but I’d like them to get this kind of game out of their system now. Time to regroup and focus on the Pens for the next game.
[Reply]
okay here my results
Drewsike has earn his scratch
Hickey did great in my own opinion he did better than Martinez
Voynov Did great too also think he did better than Martinez
Greene did okay
Stoll did pretty decent
Quick i think he did great i only see two goals that he couldnt stop and the other one he could of.
Kopi did good
Penner did decent
Williams did decent
Gagne Did great hope he can break the ice and score goals
Richards needs to score already he did great again
Brown needs to work on his Balance some more ^^ but he did good
Mitchell did alright
Lokti did great and the only one that can score
Westy all summer u think he learn how to fight better and ends up getting a bad injury
hope he going to be okay
Parse i dont see what people see in him….To me all i see a player that messing up Stoll and Clifford groove but i could be wrong..I would give Ethan Moreau or Hunter a shot over Parse that just me
Bernier did prefect by looking bored hope he can break the undefeated Pens in Preseason Go Bernier its ur turn to shine
I hate the PP coach
Martinez doesnt look like the old Martinez..(he played bad in my own opinion)
Richardson did good
Remember guys This just preseason they just getting use to everyone again…
When it comes to Oct 7 Kings going to mean business
And no the lost wasnt because we didnt had Doughty it was because of our team was shaky Team.Still got time to get everything going again
So Go Kings Go!!

If u want to start the panic button go ahead push it.for me i wont push it because this games just get the hang of things.
What u think Lokti and Hickey and Voynov they are prospects aka Youngsters and u think they cant win against NHL teams??Come on everyone has a 1% chance on winning a game there is no 100% in this life.Just saying :/

I didn’t like Gordon’s goal one bit. Rich said it was a rebound that came into the slot, but watching the replay he pulled the puck out of Quick’s pads walked around him and banged it home. Where’s the home plate mentality?

I couldn’t watch it, so I’m really not sure how the team played, but even with just knowing the score… I’m not too terribly worried about losing to the young guys. All our guys who played today have a spot. The guys we played are still fighting for a spot, so they wanted it more. That’s what it comes down to. They just need to shake the rust out and get in sync.

As I’ve said many times UBER Kings Fans, your 2011/2012 “Happy Talk” is disguising many internal problems with the team. Not signing Doughty is awful. The Richards trade, giving up Schenn and Simmonds, was awful; they will flourish with Philly. Coach “Stern” Murray and his ‘system’ stifles offense and young offensive future stars. Continuing to push ‘Quickie’ and not Bernier is typical of Murray. I already know many of your responses. “Poorman is negative!” blah,blah,blah. I hope you’re right, but I fear you’re wrong. I’m not negative, just a realist. Something feels wrong with this team.
