The game is bound to be better than the wi-fi at the American Airlines Center, which is a non-starter. Then again, it’s only 2011. Catch all the action on Fox Sports West and 1150-AM and affiliates, with all the updates here as well…
THIRD PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Quick against Lehtonen.
Kings 3, Stars 2: After Parse got called for his third minor penalty of the game, the Stars pulled within 3-2 on a power-play goal 3:03 into the third period. Quick made the stop on a close-range shot, but the puck stayed in the crease and, during an ensuing scramble, Michael Ryder beat Mike Richards to the puck and pushed it over the line. Mike Ribeiro and Brenden Morrow got assists.
Kings 3, Stars 3: Dallas tied the game 7:20 into the third period. Vernon Fiddler held the puck behind the net. His centering attempt got past Matt Greene and onto the stick of Eric Nystrom, who shot and scored from the slot to tie the game 3-3. Radek Dvorak also got an assist.
Kings 4, Stars 3: The Kings got the lead back, with 6:52 remaining in regulation, on Voynov’s second goal of the game. The puck found its way to the top of the right circle in the Dallas zone, and Voynov didn’t hesitate as he cranked a one-time shot. With Trevor Lewis running traffic in front, the shot beat Lehtonen to give the Kings a 4-3 lead. Kyle Clifford and Ethan Moreau got assists.
Kings 5, Stars 3: Dustin Brown scored into an empty net with 26.3 seconds remaining, with assists to Mike Richards and Anze Kopitar.
Shots were 33-29 in favor of the Stars.
SECOND PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Quick against Lehtonen.
NOTE: Matt Greene left the ice with 6:19 remaining in the first period after he was hit in the face by a shot. Greene returned to the bench for the start of the second period.
Kings 1, Stars 1: The Kings tied the game 3:47 into the second period. Anze Kopitar brought the puck out from behind the net and fed a pass to Slava Voynov at the top of the right circle for a one-timer. Justin Williams picked up the rebound and, from a tight angle to the right of the net, shot and scored to tie the game 1-1.
Kings 2, Stars 1: A goal from Scott Parse gave the Kings the lead with 8:33 remaining in the second period. Mike Richards played the puck near the Dallas goal line and sent a blind, backhand pass through the crease. The puck got past Lehtonen and right onto the stick of Parse, who tapped it in from two feet away to give the Kings a 2-1 lead. Dustin Brown also got an assist.
Kings 3, Stars 1: The Kings took a two-goal lead with a power-play goal with 4:39 remaining in the second period. Anze Kopitar pushed the puck to Brown in front of the net, and Brown deftly passed the puck to the right circle, where Slava Voynov pinched down and scored on a one-timer for his first NHL goal. Richards also got an assist as the Kings took a 2-1 lead.
End of period: Until this period, the Stars had not allowed more than two goals in a single period this season, and they had allowed more than two goals in an entire game only once. Shots were 13-12 in favor of the Stars in the period. The Kings will be on the power play for the first six seconds of the third period.
FIRST PERIOD
In goal: It’s the Kings’ Jonathan Quick against the Stars’ Kari Lehtonen.
Stars 1, Kings 0: The Stars opened the scoring with a power-play goal with 5:59 remaining in the first period. Quick made the initial stop on a shot from the right circle, but Trevor Daley pinched down on the right side, grabbed the rebound before the Kings could cover or clear it, and scored from close range to give Dallas a 1-0 lead. Quick’s shutout streak ended at 202 minutes, 11 seconds.
End of period: The Kings failed to score on a 5-on-3 power play for 1:23 late in the first period, and nearly gave up a shorthanded goal. The Stars outshot the Kings 11-9 in the period.
Let’s go boy boys!!

@Helvetica, Lets Go Kings, beat Dallas we need to have a great next few games to lead the Division.
Has anyone else got the feeling with Montreal and 3 or 4 other teams desprite for defensive help that some of the 5-9 Dmen on the Kings may be moved. For a big trade with Penner for a 2nd line scorer or a smaller trade that would allow us to play Voynov regularly and get something and/or keep all are assets. I think it may be a 5-9 Dman for pick(s) or a prospect/position that we feel we need more future depth.
[Reply]
Helvetica Reply:
October 27th, 2011 at 6:20 pm
@Luc20Rules, Clearly we have a stock pile of Dmen to use as trade pieces. The problem is, the ones we are likely to trade are on ELC or short term low cap hits. A trade for top scorer would have to involve Penner just to give us the cap room to take on a guy that’s a bona fide scorer. But, Penner is on the last year of his contract, so how many teams want to take on his cap hit and likely watch him walk… this early in the season? If he gets traded, its to a team with:
- some cap room
- has the scorer we want
- out of the play offs
- needs young dmen/prospects.
The only trade that allows us to play Voynov regularly is to get rid of Martinez. If we trade him away to play Voynov, then we have nobody to call up if DD, JJ, or VV get injured.
I also don’t think Dean is trading anything for prospects at this point. We have 1-2 areas of concern (Top 6 scoring winger and potentially a 3rd line gritty forward that is strong on D). We trade our assets for pieces that fill those holes now, not in a year or two down the road.
Thats my take on it anyways.
[Reply]
luc20rules Reply:
October 27th, 2011 at 8:43 pm
@Helvetica, I was just saying that a small trade would be Martinez or DD2 for probably a draft pick or prospect at a weak future depth position(RW,LW), so we could keep Voynov up to pair with Greene. Of course to get a top 6 scorer it would have to include Penner. As for not having anyone to call up. Keeping DD2 or Martinez would mean we would need 2 signifigant injuries before a real call up is needed, and Muzzin is solid I actually like him more than DD2, but he can be sent down without waiver exposure, so I don’t argue with the decision to have him down at Manchester. Hickey is also at Manchester and while he still has limitations he could fill in for a few games without being exposed. Desaularies is about as good as Voynov was last year. He and Hickey would be a 5 or 6 for some bad teams that need a power play quarterback.
Thats my take.

@Helvetica,
We have 1-2 areas of concern (Top 6 scoring winger….
Top 6 scoring wingers don’t tend to be top 6 Scoring wingers in TM’s system. 30 goal scorers tend to become 20 goal scorers….
Helvetica Reply:
October 28th, 2011 at 11:39 am
@luc20rules, You make some good points, but i would argue that we have the prefect situation on D right now (or almost perfect), in that we have a very good D corp, and we additionally have what is looking to be a proven Dman in Voynov that we can move up or down as needed without regard for waivers to replace any of DD, JJ, or Martinez. I think the only way it would be better is if it was Martinez in VV’s spot that we were moving in and out as needed. The rest of those prospects I agree look pretty good, but they haven’t yet been proven. So i think if we wind up moving people, it will be one or two of those prospects rather than the guys who have already proven themselves, unless somehow Martinez can bring us a big return. I just think in terms of planning, you don’t break up an ideal situation we have here in the hopes that one o fthe unproven guys can jump right in.
I think, if it was last year, or if we hadn’t landed Mike Richards, we’d be more likely to be making the trades you’re suggesting. But given the position of this team, I don’t think prospects help us too much. We need guys around their prime that can jump in and play the roles we need right now.
@number 6, haha yeah, you might be right. But that’s a separate issue.
C’mon Kings…Show them they can’t beat us..

sorry for the repost, just want my prediction to be seen-
Lets hope Kopi and Richards can pick us up offensively here tonight. I dont think we should expect another shutout from Quick. Its going to take at least 3 goals (we have only done that once in the first 60min of a game this year) to have a good chance to win tonight.

13 goals in 66 games. I have been anti Parse but I think he compliments Richards and Brownie better than Penner. I thought Penner did good tonight but I say keep him on the 3rd line. We scored 5 goals tonight… lets let it sit a couple games. What happens with VV>??? I mean you can’t send this kid down. He won this game tonight and had the most TOI last game. What else ccan he do????
I think we need to make a trade… Say Penner and Greene for a left wing.

Oh, by the way. Winnipeg beat Philly 9-8. I guess LA East just didn’t play gritty enough tonight. They sure had that shot mentality.
[Reply]
WOW! We may not have scored on it, but that was the best power play, I have seen in years! Jack Johnson saved us at the end by taking the body, and Quick came out saving us by grabbing the puck quickly. This was an excited time for those 2:15 min.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think.VV deserves to be in the AHL, but that’s what happens when you have so much depth. Don’t forget that Hickey is also pretty darn good and Muzzin could play in the NHL if needed. It’s not a bad thing to have depth.

@EASportsMgt, IDK, your guess is as good as mine. If I had to guess i’d say Martinez, but it doesn’t make sense to have a young guy like Martinez in the press box. I like Martinez too, but how do you sit or send VV down? I don’t think you can, but I’m not Dean Lombardi. I wouldn’t send Martinex to Manchester because he would certainly get picked up. We could try to send DD2 down, but he could get picked up as well, although that would hurt us less than losing Martinez. Like you said, it’s a great problem to have.

If you don’t, you’re pretty much ensured of losing whoever else you send down to waivers. Not a smart move if you’re planning for depth for the future. With DD coming back, you don’t really need Voynov up here.
Sucks for the kid because he’s done everything he could to earn it, but if they send Martinez down, no way he clears waivers.

[Reply]
Dare I say it. This game seemed to confirm part of TM’s strategy of playing JB the other night and JQ tonight. He wanted his #1 goaltender fresh and ready for the #1 team in the division and the team won.
I’m sure he didn’t want to give up 2 points against NJ, but he minimized the damage done by the loss, got JB valuable game time so that he’s hopefully sharper if he gets the call this weekend, and got his best goaltender in the game he wanted him in.
But I’m sure TM just lucked out and JQ and Voynov bailed him out.
Again, I wasn’t totally in agreement with his decision, but the strategy paid off tonight and hopefully, it does this weekend so we start next week at the top of the division.
GKG!

It’s a roster/depth thing. If he stays, they have to send someone down and expose them to waivers. Almost guaranteed that player gets picked up by another team. So, the Kings get to retain all their players if they send Voynov down.

@kingszzz,
Come on, now, when it boils down to it, they don’t really “need” Voynov with DD coming back. That’s what DD does. The Kings get to keep experienced depth defensemen (I don’t buy the bounds better than Martinez because their roles on the team are not exactly the same, and AM proved last year that he can fit his role well.)
It makes more sense for the team in the long run of the season to have all their players in case someone needs to be called up for defenseive depth.

Nice win.Like the PP this game only if they keep it up all through this season and hopefully Playoffs…
Parse may score a goal and made assist but come on 3 Penalties and made the Stars get a 3-2 at the time he can be good but he also can destroy this team.But i cant get mad at him he did play good on offense when he out of the Box..
Quick did great for being cold off by TM.We all know he was going to let a goal in..
Brown did great…
Richards may not scoring but he sure is making this team score goals..
Great effort to all and most important we broke their unbeatable Goalie record hasn’t lost into he face Kings

Slava has been a bit tentative every game he has played this year trying to make the right play and not make a mistake. Denying his Offensive nature. Only until he unleashed the beast tonight and started playing his game did we really see him shine. Preseason games had some of this but not regular season until tonight. I’m torn between keeping him up and splitting time with martinez or sending down. You never want a young kid to sit. He should play even if it’s AHL. Trade may be a way. Tough very tough

Most logical thing to do is send drewskie down into AHL (see if he clears waivers… is he exempt? I don’t know. Regardless, it doesn’t matter.) Keep voynov and martinez in the lineup and have them battle it out to see who gets the spot next to greener.

@CB14,
I think under normal circumstances Drewiske would clear waivers. He doesn’t really have much upside. But, he’s a body that can play 3rd pairing with a cap friendly contract, and there are some teams with injuries at the moment that would consider him. Martinez would be snatched up quickly as he has second pairing ability. That said, Drewiske will not be going anywhere since he has a role on this team as the 7th D-man that can play forward in emergency situation. Also, he plays more of a shutdown role, whereas Voynov would be playing an offensive role, which is occupied by Martinez. If Voynov were to stay they would have to expose Martinez to waivers, which they certainly wont do and lose him for nothing. As much as I want to see Voynov stay, it doesn’t make sense to lose Martinez for nothing. Unless DL can get equal value in a trade, I don’t see Martinez going anywhere. I think he is worth a 2nd round pick, or maybe can be packaged with Penner and Parse for a top 6 winger. It really sucks that Voynov can’t stay, but gotta love the depth on D.

The difference this year: rebounding with at least enough effort to get a win after a bad game, rather than letting it snowball into a losing streak.

Yep and not giving up a goal within 1 to 2 minutes of us scoring.

@Shakes, I didn’t. but I hadn’t quite realized that it wasn’t happening. A VERY good sign.
I see what we are doing now, trying to generate more offense, and even though we won tonight, I don’t like it.
We’ve gotten away from the 1-2-2 trap, and we’re now basically playing a 3-2-0. We are TOO aggressive on the forecheck, and teams seem to be getting right around it and getting A LOT of odd man rush chances right from the opening. This is not our style, we don’t have the personnel to play this style accordingly, and I see us really getting away from this shutdown style we’ve played arguably better than anyone the last 2-3 years.
We should be generating our offense from the turnovers we cause in the neutral zone from our trap game, not from this gung-ho forecheck that nearly guarantees a 3-2 going back the other way. By the time our forwards make it back into the D-zone, it’s just a mad scramble of the D-men trying to do damage control from being outnumbered.
I see this gameplan hurting us more than helping us, and I’m not sure that Jamie Kompon can offer a better alternative, with his lack of credentials and hockey knowledge.
GO KINGS!

@Nyck, a 3-2-0, what the heck does that mean? And yet you offer your “knowledge” then blast JK after arguably the best looking power plays we have had in years. Perhaps you should read this link and gain some knowledge about jk before you go making random statements without merit.

Cool, the Kings are holding pace with …the Leafs?!? What the….

For all those who keep saying that VV should stay with the Kings which means that either AM or DD2 get placed on waivers, what happens if come playoff time one the puck moving defenseman get hurt? You need to call up Hickey or Muzzin. Are you guys comfortable with that? Wouldn’t it be wiser to send VV down now and if that happens you call him up? Makes more sense to me.

Send VV down and relish in the fact that we have him as an ace in the hole.

@EASportsMgt,
That’s what I’ve been trying to say. Unfortunate for Voynov, but since he is the only exempt D-man, he has to be sent down. Otherwise, the Kings surely lose either DD2 or AM. Then, you’ve lost experienced depth and will need to rely on other rookies should the need for another defenseman arises.
The best solution for the long term of the club is to send Voynov down and keep the depth that you have. And with DD coming back, again, they don’t need Voynov in the lineup.

@EASportsMgt, Not saying trade them both. Trade one preferably DD2 and keep Voynov. Martinez is insurance and Muzzin who has played pretty solid when here for a few plays only if 2 injuries occur. Also we have a ton of other prospects Desularies and Hickey maybe ready toward the end of the year as well. I do see what your saying I remember when Buffalo was making a push and lost 5 Dmen in the playoffs, but really if that happens what are our chances. I would think that losing a stay at home Dman would be the greater threat as all our AHL top D prospects are puck movers types.

@EASportsMgt,
Exactly. Which is why they *will* send Voynov down. He’ll be up to stay for good, eventually, and will be at the ready if and when needed. But this year, he’s going to be a shuttle player.

@EASportsMgt, Glad DL gets the big buckz on this one. Yea, yea….how can you risk DD2 or Martinez to waivers? One is a stay at home, the other more offensive and has experience. Either will be gone in a heartbeat if they’re waived. The business side sez send Slava down but how can you with the way he’s playing?? Yet for all practical purposes, that’s what has to happen. Yet, it sucks.
Can you imagine our D corps with Dewey, JMFJ & VV in the same line-up?? Makes me drool just thinking about the possibilities!

@EASportsMgt,
There won’t be any players placed on waivers. They need Drewiske for depth. I think he can actually play a puck-moving role if necessary. Martinez is too good to lose for nothing. I would not be comfortable with putting any of them on waivers, but I would be comfortable with trading Martinez for a decent draft pick, only because I think Drewiske can play a puck moving if needed. Hickey and Muzzin will not play 1 game in the NHL this year on a cup-contending team. If there is an injury, the Kings can trade Penner for a decent D-man if necessary.

@EASportsMgt, What happens if Mitchell gets hurt? What happens if scuderi gets hurts? What happens if Greene get hurt?
What happens if you try to cross the street and you get hit by a bus? What happens if a meteor hits the earth?
Are you gonna run things based on what COULD happen?
Bottom line is VV should be up and its gonna be a tough and interesting decision by DL.

It sucks he is going to be sent down great time up #26 see you soon! Hope i’m wrong btw. Good game Kings way to get the win!

@jess, I don’t think so he was probably listening to the Texas Ranger game on a radio. Or would that be a Cowboys talk radio. It is Texas, so it could be a high school football game, but if it was a HS football they would have been there not the Stars game.

I think the Kings may need to move A-Mart. Voynov has outplayed him since camp opened.

Doughty – Mitchell
Johnson – Scuderi
Voynov – Greene
Martinez
Send Drewiske down if he gets picked up I wish him the best of luck.

Just have to re-iterate, the Dallas announcers on the XM feed are horrible. The play-by-play guy doesn’t really follow the play, lots of pauses of silence. The color guys favorite saying was to “chunk a goal”. WTH? Guys go to the penalty box…and they don’t say who it was. Weak.
Man, almost every other team’s group of announcers makes me feel so good to have not one, but two great announcing teams for the Kings.

A poor first period, followed by a fantastic 2nd period, followed by a poor first half of the third period followed by a strong finish. i think this team needs therapy.
good to get the win – and even though Parse scored i’d be surprised if he sees the ice for a while. three minor penalties and i think they were all in the offensive zone. that’s not going to fly.
