The Ontario Reign came close. It was close but no cigar, but boy was it close. You could point to any number of moments as the difference, but no matter how you shook it out, it was just one conversion short. Ontario was outplayed on special teams, with the Reign conceding three times on the pen... Full Story

Todd McLellan on if he feels the Kings could have led by more through 20 minutes It’s a pretty good observation, yes. We had a tenacity to our forecheck that we haven’t had for a little while, and it would have been nice to have been rewarded. It’s that theory about, again, are we stressing getting... Full Story

Todd McLellan on his evaluation of tonight’s game Disappointed. Quite disappointed in the group, haven’t said that very often with our team, but I just thought one team was so much more intense and hard and committed to doing it over and over again and another team was going to try and win it the e...

Todd McLellan’s impressions on the team scoring goals in all different ways That’s a pretty good summary right there. Everybody contributed.

Todd McLellan on the team’s effort tonight, even in defeat Well the effort was really good. When I evaluate this game, we made 8-10 mistakes and three went in our net, which is unfortunate. At the other end, we created numerous opportunities, certainly not all 51 shots were of grade-A quality, but... Full Story

Todd McLellan on tonight’s game, and the roadtrip as a whole We’ll deal with this one first – Effort was there, pretty evenly played game, it could have went to either side.

Todd McLellan on dissecting tonight’s game I thought it was a scrappy game, there wasn’t a lot of plays made either way. Hard fought along the boards, turnovers in the neutral zone, faceoffs, net play, not a lot of flow to it. Obviously disappointing that we were so close and weren’t able to hold o... Full Story

Todd McLellan on tonight’s overtime victory I couldn’t be happier for the guys. They had to put a lot into that game to win, to stick with it to the bitter end and there’s a lot of happy Kings in the locker room after, they deserve to celebrate around each other. It’s not an easy place to play, not... Full Story
