Some notes from last night’s game… – The Kings got two even-strength goals, two shorthanded goals and one power-play goal and beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-3 on Thursday night at Honda Center. – The Kings tied their season high with five goals scored, following a 5-0 victory on Oct. 18 against St. Louis and a [...]

The Kings and Anaheim Ducks next play on Dec. 6 at Honda Center. What will the Ducks look like then? Right now, they’re in a rut, with a 2-8-4 record in the last month. They have a lot of home games upcoming, to try to right the ship, but the Kings were able to take [...]

Here’s my LAKings.com game recap for tonight, with stats, video and pictures included. Thanks for reading… Kings 5, Ducks 3 The Kings are scheduled to practice tomorrow at noon at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo.

Terry Murray’s postgame thoughts… (on the back-to-back wins…) MURRAY: “They’re very big points. Any time you play a rival team, a division game like this, it’s critical that you come and play your best, that’s for sure, give yourself an opportunity to get those points. I think, in both games, both teams played very hard. [...]

Rob Scuderi’s postgame thoughts… (on the back-to-back wins…) SCUDERI: “I think it’s just a real good team effort from us, in here, to turn it around. I think we were maybe playing 40, 45 minutes in the last five, six games ago, and that’s not enough to win in this league. I thought the last [...]

Anze Kopitar’s postgame thoughts… (on the wild third period…) KOPITAR: “It was back and forth. We got a big (goal), Slava got us a big one right off the bat. Then it’s almost natural to pull back a little bit, and they came at us. After they tied it up, we said, `We’ve got to [...]

The Kings and Anaheim Ducks are back at it tonight, with all the action on Fox Sports West and on 1150-AM and affiliates, and with all the game updates here as well… THIRD PERIOD In goal: It’s still Quick vs. Ellis. Game delayed: The start of the third period was delayed because of a lightning [...]

It’s deja vu all over again, as the Kings and Anaheim Ducks meet for the second of their six games this season and their second game in less than 24 hours. A reminder that tonight’s game is a 7 p.m. start and that Bob Miller and Jim Fox will be calling the game on Fox [...]

The Kings have made a lineup change, with Brad Richardson replacing Trent Hunter. Apparently, there is no injury issue. Through a team spokesman, Terry Murray cited the need for “speed and fresh legs.”

Facing the second of back-to-back games tonight, the Kings, per usual, did not skate this morning but had team meetings in El Segundo before the bus ride to Anaheim. It’s no stretch that Terry Murray’s message to the team might have been something along the lines of, “Do exactly what you did in the first [...]

Today included a late-morning bus ride to Anaheim and a few hours in a nearby hotel. This is deviating a bit from the traditional “morning” road picture, but very rarely do I got a high-floor room with a view, so I thought I would share it. This is a panorama shot, looking northwest out over [...]

As noted earlier, the Kings intend to stay with the same lineup as last night, and that includes the new-look defensive pairings of Jack Johnson with Drew Doughty, Willie Mitchell with Slava Voynov and Rob Scuderi with Matt Greene. This morning, Terry Murray gave his thoughts on how the pairs played last night… MURRAY: “The [...]

The Kings are expected to go with the same lineup tonight, including Jonathan Quick in goal. There was no team morning skate this morning, because of the back-to-back games, but injured defenseman Alec Martinez did get on the ice for some conditioning skating. More notes and quotes to come…

Some notes from last night’s game… – The Kings won their first shootout game of the season, as they beat the Anaheim Ducks 2-1 on Wednesday night at Staples Center. – The Kings had been 0-2 in shootouts this season. The Kings were 10-2 in shootouts last season. Jarret Stoll scored in the third round [...]

The Kings and Anaheim Ducks share a region and a common woe: scoring goals. The Ducks are now 1-5-3 in their last nine games and have topped the two-goal mark in only two of those games. Two regulation goals would have been enough for either team last night, but the second goal never came. Here’s [...]

How did it look on the ice, and in the locker room, after the Kings’ shootout win last night? Here you go, courtesy of Kings Vision…

Here’s my LAKings.com game recap for tonight, with stats, video and pictures included. Thanks for reading… Kings 2, Ducks 1 (SO) The Kings will have a morning team meeting in El Segundo tomorrow, then bus to Anaheim for tomorrow night’s game.

Terry Murray’s postgame thoughts… (on Williams scoring the shootout winner, after his third-period penalty…) MURRAY: “Exactly. I acknowledged that in the dressing room, postgame. It was huge goal for him, to get the two points. It’s unfortunate on the penalty. He’s just doing some things he has to do in order to recover some pucks, [...]

Justin WIlliams’ postgame thoughts… (on the game…)
 WILLIAMS: “We let them hang around. We couldn’t get that second goal past the goalie and unfortunately they scored to tie it up. It’s tough giving up a point to a division opponent but we got two.’’

Mike Richards’ postgame thoughts… (on the game…) 
RICHARDS: “We played well. I thought we came out hard in the third and then stepped back a little more than we wanted to. They got that power-play goal at the end but it was nice to see us win the game.’’
