The Kings are practicing with the same lines as last night, and without Simon Gagne on the ice.

Anze Kopitar’s postgame thoughts... (on the game...) KOPITAR: ``If you get a two-minute 5-on-4, you’ve got to capitalize on that, or just under two minutes.

The cliche in sports goes, you’re only as good as your next game, so the Kings have to be good again in a hurry.
