Will the Kings hit the right note in Nashville tonight, or will it be another ballad of lonesome heartbreak? The Kings take on 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. Rinne.
Kings 4, Predators 3: The Kings took the lead, for a fourth time, 1:15 into the third period. Dustin Penner made a nice play in the Nashville zone, to get the puck high to Matt Greene. Greene then took a slap shot from the blue line with Jarret Stoll running traffic in front and beat Rinne. Trevor Lewis also got an assist.
Kings 5, Predators 3: The Kings took a two-goal lead exactly three minutes into the third period, and chased Rinne from the game. Dustin Brown took the puck to the Nashville net, and it ended up behind Rinne. That’s where Anze Kopitar picked it up, and although his wraparound attempt got knocked away, Trevor Lewis went to the front of the net and lifted the puck over Rinne and into the net. Rinne was then pulled in favor of Anders Lindback, after he allowed five goals on 24 shots.
Kings 5, Predators 4: The Predators made it a one-goal game with 5:18 remaining in the third period, after Willie Mitchell fell and lost control of the puck deep in the Kings’ zone. Patric Hornqvist picked up the puck and went in alone on Quick. Quick made a poke check, but the puck then deflected off Hornqvist’s skate and past Quick. David Legwand and Ryan Suter were credited with assists.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Predators 28-26 and held on for the victory.
SECOND PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Quick vs. Rinne.
Kings 2, Predators 2: The Predators tied the game 9:16 into the second period, off a nice entry play. Mike Fisher pushed the puck to Martin Erat, who shot from the middle of the right circle and beat Quick cleanly to the near side with a high shot. Roman Josi also got an assist.
Kings 3, Predators 2: The Kings regained the lead with 7:39 remaining in the period. Jordan Nolan showed some nice poise, when he took a pass from Colin Fraser and held the puck in the right circle. Nolan waited until Drew Doughty pinched down a bit, and then Nolan fed a pass to Doughty, who shot and scored from the high slot.
Kings 3, Predators 3: The Predators tied the game, for a third time, with 5:55 remaining in the period. Sergei Kostitsyn found some open ice and, from the right circle, fired a shot that wobbled a bit and went under Quick’s right arm and into the net. The goal was unassisted.
End of period: The Predators outshot the Kings 10-6 in the period. The Kings went 0-for-1 on the power play and 1-for-1 on the penalty kill.
FIRST PERIOD
Officials: Stephane Auger, Don VanMassenhoven (referees); Derek Nansen, Pierre Champoux (linesmen).
Lineup: Davis Drewiske, Brad Richardson and Kevin Westgarth are the Kings’ healthy scratches.
In goal: It’s the Kings’ Jonathan Quick against the Predators’ Pekka Rinne.
Kings 1, Predators 0: The Kings took the lead 6:16 into the game. Rinne held the puck behind his net and pushed it toward the corner, but before he could get back in position, Justin Williams grabbed the puck and shot it toward the net. The shot hit Rinne and, as he lunged back toward the line, Rinne kicked the puck over the line. Willie Mitchell got an assist.
Kings 1, Predators 1: After not getting a quality scoring chance for a lengthy stretch, the Predators tied the game with 1:19 remaining in the period. Rob Scuderi deflected Andrei Kostitsyn’s shot, but the puck stayed in the slot. With Quick far off his line, the puck bounced to Patric Hornqvist, who beat Quick with a high shot. Ryan Suter also got an assist.
Kings 2, Predators 1: The Kings regained the lead just 12 seconds after Hornqvist’s goal. Slava Voynov carried the puck toward the net, then fed a cross-ice pass toward Justin Williams. Williams, to the side of the net, first chopped at the puck to knock it down, then whacked it past Rinne with 1:07 remaining in the period. Voynov and Willie Mitchell got assists.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Predators 9-6 in the period. Neither team had a power play, but the Predators will be on the power play for the first 1:58 of the second period.
Ooooo lets go boys lets get a big two points tonight

He’s the only coach the Preds have ever had and he’s like Dave Tippett, able to get the most out of his players when they weren’t always the deepest team. Very good, underrated coach imho.

[Reply]
good game so far…
somewhat contrasting styles of play on the period…
the preds seemed to play the kings straight-up/man-to-man, keeping the kings relatively close to the boards. only to pounce on an errant pass or a possession cycle…
the kings were definitely meeting the offensive entrant with two players almost every time on nashville’s breakouts…that was working very well, as the preds were having difficulty making first and second passes…
other than that, nice driving by some of our forwards…and equally good positioning by the preds…
kings played a good period overall..

he is creative and really smart but needs to do the job down low and good smart outlet passes

Kings are doing a good job so far, there is one or two guys who need to pick it up, were these guys on the ice in period 1….
-Nolan
-Greene
-Penner
…..these guys have to pick it up this period, don’t think they have done much

The Kings need to kill this penalty in order to keep the momentum. Not gonna be easy, Nashville has the second best Power Play in the league.

I honestly think he might have some choker issues. I certainly don’t feel safe with him in the goal tonight. Have that scared feeling everytime the preds are in our offense zone

@Mike D, I agree but so many other guys have way less heart and desire and no one talks about them but everyone loves to talk about the youngest player on the Kings.
What do you think KC will be like in 3-5yrs, your right a monster and tough opponent with likely 10 goals and 20 assists a season as a 2nd or 3rd line winger. Likely get PP time as a big body and then look out.
I know everyone thinks I’m subjective with Kyle but he will do this regardless who is playing for in this league.
LA management know they don’t want to loose him so next year he cashes another 2-3 year contract and if nothing goes well Kings will re-evaluate. For now everyone likes his heart, desire, team dynamics and what he can bring to this team.

@JPKelly,
I hear ya about Penner but hopefully we do well in the playoffs and he takes a smaller deal to be with a contender/champion. Stoll is a STRONG 3rd line center and he does so much, Lotki has nice hands but is WAY too small to play with this team the way it plays.

@KingOfHockey, No way Penner and Stoll are re-signed. Add Loktionov for Stoll and hopefully we pick up someone for the third line through trade or free agency, cause Richardson isn’t cutting it. Also I would add Clifford on the 4th line and let King and Nolan fight it out for the last roster spot.

KingOfHockey Reply:
March 6th, 2012 at 7:13 pm
@Canadian King,
Ok so Penner goes, but Stoll stays, he is having an off year as is the whole team. He will be better next year and he just does way too much for the team that it would be hard to replace his value. I think Nolan is way better than King, so I would keep him.

I have always thought if the Kings could just get their offense going for a short period of the season it would get us enough points to make the playoffs. I guess the time is NOW ;D
really though if we get in the playoffs after all is said in done I think we are going to be a threat because of our good D.

WHEW!!! What a relief… Kings played great. Quick played okay, but luckily for them Pekka Rinne and the Preds weren’t exactly that sharp, either… Either way, let’s take the two points and move on to Columbus.
Don’t expect the Columbus or the Dertoit games to be easy…

@Bonvivant, It may also be for the Pacific Division and the 3rd Seed.
The Kings may be in the top 7 at the end of the night, and 1 pt out of the Division lead with a game in hand. Don’t believe I’m saying this, but the O seems fine and the D/Goaltending has been shake in the last 2 games. I called Carter way back when we traded for Richards. Made posts like I wonder what it would have taken to get both Richards & Carter from Philly, and if Columbus tanks this season Carter may be available and would be the best talent moved at/before the trade deadline this season.
Go Kings Go!

The GOOD… The Kings with Carter are the real deal. He has made such a difference.The whole team is improved and confident now.
The Kings totally outplayed Nashvile tonight and also outplayed them the last game and we won the first game over Nashville. And Nashville is one of the really good teams this year.
……
The BAD Quick vs Nashville.
…….
The UGLY Quick on shots from the side . Bernier has such better position on these shots. Think back over the last three years , Quick often gives up these weak goals. Yes I agree the last goal was not his fault , simply bad luck. But the game vs Ducks he nearly let the quacks back in it with same shot by Smith-Pelty. ( No I didnt say Bernier is better than QUick. )But I do know Bernier is way better than he gets credit for.

@hip-check,
You are getting on Quick’s case for two bad goals from the side. After he’s played lights out the rest of the season, is an All-Star this season, and is STILL the Kings MVP by a land slide.
One of the goals from tonight was a fluke changeup/curve ball. Not a soft goal at all.
Bernier is good. But, Quick is better currently. Quick has significantly cleaned up his game this season and has only made a fraction of the “rookie” mistakes he made last season. Which, was a fraction of the “rookie” mistakes he made the season before. The only thing Quick does often is improve his game.
One bad game isn’t worth getting huffy about or claiming Quick is weak on that side. He’s not. A couple flukes don’t mean anything.

@jess, The team plays differently in front of each goalie so the game would not have played out the same with Bernier in net. There is no way of knowing if the Kings would have even won if Bernier played. We won the game, how could it have been a right call to start our backup?

So there it is, fellow King fans. The Kings have what it takes to win on the road against, arguably, one of the hardest teams to beat on their home ice. A lot of guys are starting to step up and deliver. We will only get hotter from here on out. The Kings rule.

We were good all night and I’m sure everyone was giving an effort however I would rank our lines tonight in this order…..
#1 (Penner, Stoll, Lewis)
#2 (Brown, Kopitar, Williams)
#3 (Clifford, Fraser, Nolan)
#4 (King, Richards, Carter)
…but in a way this is what it will take to win big games, lessor names or lessor lines have to step up. Not all lines will be consistent every night due to the competition, other teams will match our big lines with their checking line.

Why oh why can’t we see this kind of effort every game? This was an excellent game. Really, it should have been 5-3, cuz that last Preds goal was a fluke. Could/should have only been 5-1 cuz Quick let in a few bad ones that he usually stops. Usually our D holds teams to 2 or less goals. Finally a team I am starting to have little faith in. Let’s see this in Columbus!

Probably the worst win of the year, solely made possible by the fact that our goalie was a little less sucky than NASH’s.
Hopefully, it’s an exception and not a sign of a return to prior post-AS/Olympic break performances.
