Next up on the Kings’ World Tour is tomorrow night’s game in Anaheim, followed by a Saturday-morning flight to Las Vegas, a game that night against Colorado and then an all-night flight to Germany for the start of season-opening preparations. How does it all come together? In an LAKings.com feature, I took a look at [...]

Some notes from last night’s game… – The Kings scored four second-period goals and beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-0 in a preseason game at Pepsi Center. – The Kings had totaled seven goals in their four previous preseason games and had not previously recorded a preseason shutout. – The Kings improved to 2-1-2 in the [...]

Terry Murray’s postgame thoughts… (on the six-goal game…) MURRAY: “Sometimes it just takes some games to get some rhythm and a bit of chemistry going. Our games were spread out. You start to get a feel for your legs. You start to pass the puck better and, instinctively, the game starts to take over. It [...]

Trent Hunter’s postgame thoughts… (on his two-assist game…) HUNTER: “It felt good. It has definitely felt better each night, trying to get the timing back and get rid of the rust. I think I was just going to the net tonight and trying to create some havoc. The whole team played great tonight.’’ (on how [...]

Jonathan Quick’s postgame thoughts… (on the shutout…) QUICK: “I thought the team played really well, as far as system work, D-zone, stuff like that. The power play was playing well. The PK was playing well. They’re all good signs. It’s a bit of a boost of confidence, plus we get a win. I don’t think [...]

Anze Kopitar’s postgame thoughts… (on if he thought about facing Colorado, the team he got hurt against last season…) KOPITAR: “No. I was probably thinking about it a little more in the last game at Staples (Center), because it happened there. That was the only one. No, definitely not. It was a non-factor. I’m past [...]

Here’s how things went in Denver tonight, as the Kings beat Colorado 6-0… THIRD PERIOD In goal: It’s still Quick vs. Varlamov. Kings 5, Avalanche 0: The scoring continued with a power-play goal 57 seconds into the third period. Justin Williams held the puck, wheeled and beat Varlamov with a wrist shot from the middle [...]

If you’re making a list of Kings players who need to have impressive efforts in tonight’s game, put Scott Parse’s name at the top, in big, bold letters. After two subpar performances and some public criticism from Terry Murray, Parse gets a third — and final? — chance to show that he deserves to hold [...]

Just a reminder…with the start of the season right around the corner, there are already two great events being planned for readers of LAKingsInsider.com. Thanks to the great work of Frank Robledo and the Kings’ Larry Abel, two “suite night’’ events have been organized, giving you the opportunity to sit among fellow fans/readers in a [...]

The Kings are pleased with the progress of Andrei Loktionov. But they’re also pleased with Anze Kopitar, Mike Richards, Jarret Stoll and Trevor Lewis, who happen to play center, Loktionov’s natural position. Loktionov gets another look tonight, as he will center a line with Kyle Clifford and Scott Parse, but is there a spot for [...]

Back in Los Angeles, today was a big day for Kings television analyst Jim Fox and his wife, Susie, who completed the process of becoming United States citizens by participating in the naturalization oath ceremony at the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center. Jim and Susie were two of approximately 3,900 people to [...]

While the Drew Doughty contract saga makes for some interesting off-ice drama — and, as of this morning, there is apparently zero fresh movement in the contract talks — it also has the potential to cause headaches for Terry Murray, as time is drawing quite short in terms of selecting a roster. The Kings have [...]

Here’s the lineup the Kings are expected to go with tonight… Gagne-Kopitar-Williams Richardson-Lewis-Hunter King-Azevedo-Moreau Clifford-Loktionov-Parse Mitchell-Voynov Martinez-Johnson Campbell-Hickey Quick Zatoff Colorado is expected to go with the following… Goalies: Semyon Varlamov, Trevor Cann. Defensemen: Ryan O’Byrne, Shane O’Brien, Erik Johnson, Tyson Barrie, Ryan Wilson, Stefan Elliott. Forwards: Matt Duchene, Jay McClement, Chuck Kobasew, Milan Hejduk, [...]

Some notes (and a boxscore) from last night’s game… – The Kings allowed two third-period goals, then tied the game with a third-period power-play goal and lost in the eighth round of the shootout as they fell to the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 on Tuesday night in Kansas City. – The Kings played at Sprint Center [...]

It’s a nice, clear, warm morning here in Denver, otherwise known as Stop No. 2 in the Kings’ 10-city world tour. The Kings are scheduled for a morning skate at 11:30 a.m. local time (10:30 a.m. Pacific time), but Terry Murray said last night that he hadn’t decided whether the players would actually go on [...]

The Kings, last night, played their third preseason game in Kansas City in the last four years. Kansas City has tried to keep its name in discussions as a future NHL city — Sprint Center is owned by AEG, the Kings’ parent company — so how was the game received last night? Pretty well, according [...]

Here’s my LAKings.com recap of tonight’s game. Thanks for reading… Kings lose to Penguins 3-2 in shootout Of course, there’s another game tomorrow, with the Kings playing the Colorado Avalanche in Denver with a 6 p.m. Pacific start.

Terry Murray’s postgame thoughts… (on Bernier having to face 41 shots…)
 MURRAY: “It’s good that he got lots of work. He played very well and he made some very big stops against some of their better players. That’s what this training camp is about, when you get to games like this. You don’t have a [...]

Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on tonight’s game, compared to Sunday’s loss…)
 BROWN: “We were giving up a lot of chances, but it wasn’t from a lack of effort. That might have been the difference from Anaheim. We had no energy (then). It’s time to work through that, and that’s what the preseason is for, is [...]
