Joanne Ireland: Los Angeles Kings confident they’ll be able to make another NHL playoff run

“There is a quiet confidence exuding from all the Kings’ men that they will be able to put themselves into position to secure a playoff berth so they can make another run at the Stanley Cup.”

Robert Tychkowski: Edmonton Oilers run into Los Angeles Kings wall

“The Oilers struggled with their breakouts, had trouble breaking up the L.A. cycle and looked nothing like the group that had so much poise against the Ducks, Wild and Blues.”

Derek Van Diest: Just out of playoff contention, the Los Angeles Kings want to work their way up the standings
