Random trivia of the day: this is officially game 615 of the NHL schedule, the midway point. All the action will be on Fox Sports West and on 1150-AM and affiliates, with all the game updates here as well…
THIRD PERIOD
In goal: It’s Bernier against Michal Neuvirth, who replaces Vokoun.
Kings 5, Capitals 1: The Kings reached the five-goal mark for the fifth time this season with a power-play goal with 8:56 remaining in the period. Drew Doughty shot from the top of the left circle and Neuvirth made the stop but couldn’t cover the puck. Justin Williams, parked to the left of the net, jammed the rebound into the net. Jack Johnson also got an assist.
Kings 5, Capitals 2: The Capitals made it a three-goal game with 6:18 remaining. Marcus Johansson got his second goal of the game, as he alertly picked up, and shot, a re-direction of a point shot by Roman Hamrlik. Alexander Semin also got an assist.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Capitals 35-22 in the game.
SECOND PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Bernier vs. Vokoun.
Kings 3, Capitals 1: The Kings reached the three-goal mark for the 11th time in 42 games this season. Kyle Clifford picked up the puck and sped to the other end, on what turned into a 3-on-1 break. Clifford pulled up in the Washington zone, then hit the trailer, Jack Johnson, who fired a wrist shot past Vokoun 3:01 into the period. Trent Hunter also got an assist.
Kings 4, Capitals 1: The Kings reached the four-goal mark for the eighth time this season, as Jarret Stoll scored with 3:33 remaining in the period. Mike Richards forced the puck away from John Carlson deep in the Washington zone, and then Dustin Penner took the puck to the net. Vokoun made the stop, but the puck stayed in the crease as Stoll skated in and knocked it into the net.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Capitals 14-8 in the period. The Kings will be on the power play for the first 1:16 of the third period.
FIRST PERIOD
In goal: It’s the Kings’ Jonathan Bernier against the Capitals’ Tomas Vokoun.
Capitals 1, Kings 0: The Capitals took the lead just 1:34 into the game, on a counter-attack and on their first shot on goal. Marcus Johansson took a pass from Mike Knuble and entered the Kings’ zone with speed. Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi went down to block the possibility cross-ice pass, but Johansson still beat Bernier, short-side, with a medium-range wrist shot.
Kings 1, Capitals 1: Kyle Clifford’s goal tied the game with 8:19 remaining in the first period. Trent Hunter turned and fired a shot from the top of the left circle. Vokoun made the save, but left a juicy rebound. Clifford beat Alex Ovechkin to the puck and rifled a backhand shot past Vokoun from close range. Willie Mitchell also got an assist.
Kings 2, Capitals 1: The Kings took the lead with 34 seconds remaining in the period. Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown forced the puck away from a Capital near the front of the Washington net, then Brown turned and fired from close range. Kopitar deflected the shot past Vokoun.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Capitals 13-7, went 1-for-1 on the penalty kill and did not have a power play. Dustin Brown didn’t score on a breakaway chance with just under four minutes remaining.

@Kings x, I don’t think you understand the point or are not watching the Kings play Washington tonight. Jim Fox was all excited about a crappy shot Ovechkin took and called it “shot mentality,” which did NOT lead to any goal. Quite contrary, it led to a turnover. And Ovechkin is a good shoot unlike many of the Kings players.

@SD Kings, had 2 in a row. also leads the team in game winning goals (3rd in the league). retire the ‘hands of stone’ already. any chance you saw Richards’ penalty shot and 2 SO attempts this year? each was rather embarrassing if you want to camp on it. doesn’t make Richards “hands of stone”.

Just to clear some things up here. The reason Kings have 4 goals in this game is not just because they’re stepping their game up (it’s partly due to that also).
But, a lot of it is because we’re playing an Eastern Conference team. They don’t know what defense means over there. It’s just not a part of the game.

[Reply]
Wow…up 4-1 and still A LOT of negative comments. The Kings may not be scoring a lot of goals, but for the most part, they have been playing hard for DS and the whole team looks improved. What I’ve noticed is something I learned from an interview a long time ago with Wayne Gretzky. He said the Oilers always try to outnumber on the puck…meaning, if one guy from the other team is there, Oilers would have 2, if there are two then get 3 on the forecheck. Its all about outnumbering the opposition and gaining control of the puck…I noticed the Kings are doing that a lot more under DS…so lets give them a break..they are working hard and have lost only once in the last couple of weeks.

News Flash – Staples Center employee taken to hospital – reports are coming in that the goal horn operator was rushed to the hospital suffering from exhaustion and hysteria. Witnesses indicated that he asked management for a raise due to being overworked tonight and was denied. The Kings surprisingly scored a late PP goal and that led to the final breakdown. Staples is planning to hold auditions for a new horn activator and indicated that they are going to look for someone younger as they hope the scoring trend will continue with more work for the horn blower.

If the Kings can look this good against every other team like they did against the Caps, the could truly go undefeated the rest of the season. Personally, I think it was their best effort this year with credit due against the Hawks in the 2-0 game @ Chicago and the recent victory against the Nucks.
Simply put, a totally different team. I think the Dallas game is going to be real fun!

To the Bernier haters, if you want the guy traded for any value, which is what management is destined to require, then he will need to play and play he will… Zatkoff is turning heads in the A. With more time, Bernier will impress with his obvious talent. Fact is we are looking good with whatever goalie we put between the pipes
