-Jeff Carter tallied his 100th goal as a King and registered his fifth multi-point game (1-1=2) of the season.

-With his assist on Carter’s goal, Jake Muzzin extended his point streak to a career-long six games. According to Elias Sports Bureau, it is the longest point streak by a Kings defenseman since Jack Johnson recorded a six-game point streak from December 21-30, 2010.

His eight-game streak of earning points for the team ended with today’s loss.
