Jonathan Bernier is expected to start in goal tonight. Kyle Clifford and Davis Drewiske are scheduled to be scratched tonight, and both Brad Richardson and Kevin Westgarth will go in warmups, after which the Kings will decide the lineup.... Read More

No right-minded team would want to play a road game against the Nashville Predators right now. Actually, few teams would want to play them in any arena. The Predators are now 4-0-1 in their last five games, and haven’t lost on home ice since Jan. 5. The Predators made a couple deadline-day trades Mo... Read More

Darryl Sutter elected to bring the Kings to the rink this morning. If you remember, during the last set of back-to-back games, Sutter elected only for a team meeting in Denver, the morning after the loss in Phoenix, and the Kings got stomped by the Avalanche. So, this is probably one of those ``Well... Read More

Efforts that can be classified as mostly good, and getting beat by bad-bounce goals, means absolutely nothing these days for the Kings. The fact is that the days on the regular-season calendar continue to dwindle, and the Kings are losing ground in the Western Conference, rather than solidifying a s... Read More

Darryl Sutter’s postgame thoughts... (on the game...) SUTTER: ``I thought we played really well. I don’t think it had anything to do with bounces. It’s a tough building to come into, a tough team. We pretty well matched them. We just didn’t bear down and finish opportunities. We had some great o... Read More

Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts... (on the game...) BROWN: ``You can’t doubt or question the effort tonight, or the work ethic. Those were pretty good. It was just a tight game, and they found a way. We have to find a way. We scored one kind of late and gave ourselves a chance. If we could get ... Read More

Jarret Stoll’s postgame thoughts... (on playing a solid game but losing again...) STOLL: ``It was a good hockey game. We put a lot into that one. We just didn’t get rewarded for our work. I’m beating a dead horse here, but it’s one goal. We can work hard, and do all the things we did tonight, bu... Read More

With the trade-deadline-day drama, can the Kings beat one of the NHL's best home teams? It's the Kings against the Nashville Predators, with all the action on Fox Sports West and on 1150-AM and affiliates, with all the game updates here as well... THIRD PERIOD In goal: It's still Quick vs. Rinn... Read More

This is the second of four meetings this season between the Kings and the Nashville Predators, and follows the Kings’ 4-3 victory on Nov. 8 in Los Angeles. Teams that don’t get an early jump on the Predators are generally in for long nights. For the season, the Predators have a minus-9 goal differen... Read More

The Kings didn't make any more shake-ups to their roster today, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in-team tweaking, particularly on the power play. The Kings went 2-for-3 on the man advantage on Saturday against Chicago, but it really wasn't because of anything in their structure. They were b... Read More

The Kings, after a solid game against Chicago on Saturday, will probably need to be even better tonight. The Nashville Predators are hot, and no doubt will be pumped up today after the team traded for Andrei Kostitsyn and Paul Gaustad in an attempt to boost their group of forwards. Neither player wi...
