A reminder that tonight’s game is a national broadcast on Versus. Bob and Jim will rest up for tomorrow’s game at Dallas. Today’s action will also be on 1150-AM and affiliates, and all the game updates will be here as well…
THIRD PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Bernier vs. Halak.
Kings 2, Blues 1: The Kings took advantage of another St. Louis turnover and took a 2-1 lead 4:41 into the third period. In the corner of the Blues’ zone, Andrei Loktionov helped force the puck away from Barret Jackman. Loktionov then picked it up and centered toward Mike Richards, who scored on a one-timer from the slot.
Kings 2, Blues 2: St. Louis tied the game 2-2 with 7:32 remaining in the third period. Matt D’Agostini carried the puck below the Kings’ goal line, then pushed the puck back. Vladimir Sobotka beat Drew Doughty to the front of the net and beat Bernier with a close-range one-timer. Kris Russell also got an assist.
Kings 3, Blues 2: The Kings got the lead back just 1:43 later. Simon Gagne pushed the puck to the blue line, and Willie Mitchell shot from the left point. With Justin Williams and a couple other players running traffic, the shot deflected off St. Louis’ Scott Nichol and got past Halak to give the Kings a 3-2 lead with 5:49 remaining in the third period.
End of game: The Kings handed the Blues their first regulation loss in their last seven games and outshot the Blues 28-25.
SECOND PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Bernier vs. Halak.
Kings 1, Blues 1: The Kings tied the game with a power-play goal 7:36 into the second period. Mike Richards won the puck from St. Louis’ Barret Jackman in the corner, then quickly fed a centering pass toward Anze Kopitar, who pushed it into the net from close range for his 10th goal of the season to make it a 1-1 game.
End of period: Shots were 14-11 in favor of the Blues in the second period. St. Louis’ Alex Pietrangelo got a penalty at the end of the period, so the teams will be 4-on-4 for the first 1:02 of the third period, followed by a 58-second Kings power play.
FIRST PERIOD
In goal: It’s the Kings’ Jonathan Bernier against the Blues’ Jaroslav Halak.
Blues 1, Kings 0: The Kings came out with some new-look line combinations, but the Blues scored 67 seconds into the game to take a 1-0 lead. They worked the puck out of the corner in the Kings’ zone and, after a quick scramble, Alexander Steen found open ice in the slot, jumped on the puck and beat Bernier with a wrist shot. T.J. Oshie got an assist.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Blues 8-7 in the period. The Kings started the period with a left-wing swap, with Ethan Moreau on the second line and Andrei Loktionov on the fourth, but went back the other way midway through the period. The Kings did stay with new defensive pairings, though, as Rob Scuderi paired with Drew Doughty, Willie Mitchell paired with Jack Johnson and Slava Voynov paired with Matt Greene. The Kings did nothing of consequence with the puck in the first 10 minutes. Their effectiveness increased in the final 10 minutes, but it didn’t result in a goal. The Blues will be on the power play for the first four seconds of the second period.
LGMFK!

@Kevin, What exactly did Ponikarovsky excel in while he was a King? Ditto Purcell. The Kings gave both players every opportunity to flourish and they just didn’t. Purcell is putting up decent numbers, but play between guys like Stamkos, St. Louis and Lecavalier and things are sure to go your way on the scoresheet. I’ll even add that Brian Boyle had a good season last year. This year? Nothing to cry aboot…

@Kevin, Do you really think Purcell and Moulson would have the amount of points they do with their respective clubs and the ice time they are getting, if they were still with the Kings with the team we have now? As for Boyle all I have to say about him is, Sean Avery has played 11 less games then Brian and he has 1 more goal scored then him.

@colo king fan, It’s been 3 weeks since the Kings have left California, it shouldn’t be a surprise to get off to a slow start. Bernier always seems to allow one early and then stiffens up as the game goes on. Not a surprise either since he doesn’t play much.
Moreau needs to be benched, so many dumb penalties

Good news is they only got 7 shots. Games still up for grabs being down by only 1 goal.
[Reply]
Yeah they played badly in the 1st period, what’s new? On the brightside, it’s only 1 nothing, and with ST. Louis’ PP sucking this year, they aren’t able to take advantage of our stupid penalties. We can come back from 1 goal after the 1st. We just need to be tied or ahead entering the 3rd and we’ll still be alive. All hope is not lost.

@slovenian fan, because Reason we play Voynov we got JJ and Doughty that supposed to be better than Voynov…To mean Voynov is better than Doughty
for Hunter because of his big body to screen the goalie which i dont see who will be any better anyways…Brown not even good at it.
I just dont get why we have Stoll on the point when he 99% misses the net.

Without a debt. Voynov makes solid decisions with the puck and JJ and DD constantly hesitate and lose it at the line.
I understand DD has many years to improve but he has looked like poop all season with the exception of maybe two or three games.

DD is definitely going to take a few more years to mature emotionally. I was just talking to a friend today and I said that I have seen DD’s personality many times. I see him as a very talented, reckless, emotional player. I think we can all see that Doughty is very immature. He has amazing talent, but his immaturity lends only reckless, knee-jerk decisions that translate to a bad game. He seems like a good kid, but he needs to grow up! We won’t see his best game until he can just hone in like Kopi or Richards and just play the game.

I give Bernier a complete pass on that first goal. 14 days from his last start and they way he played from that point on … yep, full pass on that first goal. Well done Bernier.

Doughty won’t be suspended. It wasn’t that vicious. You (not all) guys just look for anything to take jabs at him. It was nothing more than a minor penalty. Will the league look at it? Sure. I’d be really surprised if any disciplinary action was taken. He’s not known to be a dirty player. If he were to be suspended, he would have to meet with the league tomorrow, but they will be on their way to Dallas.
It’s wins like this that bring teams together. It wasn’t their best game. Bernier played great. Kopitar and Richards did what they do best. Richards was 15/15 on faceoffs. Credit the team for pulling one out!

@Harty, Playing Richards and Kopi on PK is a potential SH goal, but it means that you have to play the 3rd or 4th line after the PK instead of playing your 1st or 2nd and going after them.
You kill the penalty but you don’t get any momentum from it. I agree, Kopi and Richards should PK once in a while, but we need Lewis and Richie to take over.

I’ve been really surprised how critical Kingsfans have been over the Kings. As I read yesterday, through today, and even right through the game till we took the lead in the 3rd, many Kingsfans have reserved themselves to the perception that the Kings suck, and there not going to support the boys, but complain, and force them to drag them along kicking and screaming.
That’s unfortunate, because their missing out.

I’m happy they battled back and got the win, but I think the Kings got lucky with Jackman’s 2 turnovers.

@KC23, argue the clifford grade again, more points then penner, plays with more heart and guts, better teammate and way more upside, com’on KC you know it and I and I realize your pulling my leg on that one….your soft on a few, geez penner is a solid F and no one is changing my mind……..he is the worst player in the nhl right now and if he doesn’t either admit it or give money back to the kings someone should call the LAPD or the FBI as we have been robbed of millions

@Harty, pretty good, but i would give williams a B

Well, they pulled that one out. Great game by Bernier.
However still need work on the 3rd and 4th line scoring. I do believe I heard that Peggi is possibly going to be available.
If they can get him, that could fire up the bottom 6.

I’m manning up. Totally was wrong on tonight’s prediction. Let me have it gang.

@Poorman, I figured you’d be gloating that your man was in net and the Kings won.

@Poorman,
Poorman, I don’t care about that. But wonder what your feeling is about the Kings being in the market for Peggi.
Pay-gee Pay-gee Pay-gee

@Poorman,
Peggi….. he’s the guy in those hockey commercials for the credit card. You know, the ones w Patirck Kane and Tim Thomas. And when he scores a goal in table hockey he goes ‘payghee payghee payghee’
Hey rich can we have a grading poll type questions for the players that played, after each game. I think it would be cool if the fans got to grade the players. Would be interesting to see the averages over time. I know it is a ton of work, but just a thought. I follow european soccer and most teams have a rating system for the fans to rate players after each game. If you like I can send a link.

Overall I think the boys played well. Really nice to see JB get some huge stops. Usually it’s JQ with the sick saves so really nice to see the flipside
[Reply]
Bernier stole those two points – and how about Moreau and Hunter with all of those penalties. glad TM benched Lewis and Richardson. the Moreau/Hunter pair had a ton of scoring chances as well, no?
