-The last time Jonathan Quick was pulled in a game was on Saturday, December 17, 2011, an 8-2 loss at Detroit, when he allowed three goals on seven shots in nine minutes.

-The Kings have power play goals in three straight games, including four total over that span (3x Brown, Carter).

-Saturday’s game ended a streak of 10 consecutive LA-Anaheim games decided by one or two goals. The last Kings-Ducks game decided by at least a three-goal margin was a 4-1 Kings win at Staples Center on Sunday, December 26, 2010.
