— Of the 18 skaters in the Kings lineup (non-goalies), 12 recorded at least one point.

— The Kings scored four goals in a period for the second time this season. They also scored four on Nov. 5 against Pittsburgh.

— Anze Kopitar had one assist and has recorded at least one point in seven consecutive games. He has four goals and three assists in that span. Kopitar’s career best point-scoring streak is eight games.

— Jonathan Quick recorded his third shutout of the season. His 11 saves matched a franchise record for fewest saves in a shutout. Cristobal Huet also had 11 saves in a shutout of Pittsburgh on Oct. 10, 2003.

— Randy Jones had two assists for his fourth multi-point game of the season and his first since Dec. 1 at Anaheim.

— With Bob Miller still recovering from shingles, Nick Nickson called the game on TV with Jim Fox, with Mike Kalinowski and Daryl Evans handling radio. It was, by Nick’s recollection, his first TV game since Oct. 26, 1990, when he filled in for Bob on the night Wayne Gretzky recorded his 2,000th career point in Winnipeg. Nick and Jim will also call Wednesday’s game at Chicago.
