Postgame notes (Jan. 20)

Some notes from last night’s game…

— The Kings lost for the 10th time in their last 12 games, as they fell to the Phoenix Coyotes 2-0 on Thursday night at Staples Center.

— The Kings were shut out for the third time this season, following a 2-0 loss at Anaheim on Nov. 29 and a 1-0 home loss to San Jose on Jan. 1. The Kings were only shut out twice last season.

— The Kings have now totaled two goals in their last three games and five goals in their last five losses. On the other side, they have allowed only two goals in each of their last four games, but have a 1-3-0 record on those games.

— The Kings went 0-for-6 on the power play and 2-for-3 on the penalty kill. The Kings are now 0-for-19 on the power play in their last six games and, in terms of league power-play efficiency, have dropped from 12th to 20th.

— The Kings outshot the Coyotes 36-15. The 15 shots-against were the fewest by any Kings opponent this season. The previous low was 19, which was reached five times this season. The 21-shot gap was also the largest positive margin of the season. The Kings outshot the New York Islanders by 15 — 34 to 19 — in a 5-1 win on Nov. 14.

— The Kings are now 6-14-1 when allowing the first goal and 3-15-1 when trailing after the second period. They’re also 4-7-0 against Pacific Division teams this season and are 4-7-1 in their last 12 home games, after an 11-2-0 start.

— Jonathan Quick stopped 13 of 15 shots and lost his fourth consecutive decision.

— Justin Williams was credited with a team-high six shots on goal. Dustin Brown was credited with a team-high five hits and Drew Doughty was credited with a team-high three blocked shots.

— Drew Doughty led the Kings in ice time, at 28 minutes, 1 second. Anze Kopitar led all Kings forwards in ice time at 23:20.

— The Kings won 27 of 51 faceoffs (53 percent). Jarret Stoll won 11 of 14 draws (79 percent). Stoll now ranks fifth in the NHL in faceoff percentage, at 58.9.
