Los Angeles Kings 5, Nashville Predators 4
Bridgestone Arena; Nashville, Tennessee

***
LEFTOVER THOUGHTS:
* Brandon Yip, Matt Halischuk, Brian McGrattan and Jack Hillen were Nashville’s healthy scratches tonight.
* Preds defenseman Kevin Klein (upper body injury) was also scratched.
* Ryan Ellis was in the Nashville lineup for the first time since February 19.
* Coming into the night, David Legwand had seven points in his last seven games.
* The Kings beat out an icing call in each of the first two periods. Ellis was the victim in the opening frame and then Francis Bouillon couldn’t make up enough ground in the second.
* This was the third consecutive game (and fourth of the their last five) in which Los Angeles scored at least four goals.
* This was Anders Lindback‘s first appearance in front of the home town fans since December 3.
* Tuesday night was the fifth game in which Rinne was pulled in favor of Lindback this season.
* It was also the latest Lindback has come...

According to On the Forecheck’s Dirk Hoag, the Nashville Predators are very happy to report that team’s finally starting to sell out Bridgestone Arena, or reach near-sellout status, while giving away fewer and fewer tickets while also charging a bit more for the tickets the team’s selling to the general public:

With a victory tonight, Pekka Rinne would break Tomas Vokoun‘s franchise record for wins in a single season.
Not only did he not topple the record but he didn’t even finish the game.
The Los Angeles Kings brought their A-game into Bridgestone Arena and barely beat a Nashville Predators squad, 5-4, that only brought their C-game.
Rinne made just 19 saves on 24 shots in the loss...

Blue Jackets swap nameplates on Carter jersey
Not too long ago in a land on the eastern part of the United States, there was a team in total turmoil. There was a general manager who was dumping long-term contracts, players who weren't living up to expectations, and a media department that dug itself into a hole in the public eye. And while the Columbus Blue Jackets luck hasn't changed all that much since that point,...

It was a hungrier team that won on Tuesday night in front of a sellout crowd of 17,113 at Bridgestone Arena. A night of playing catch-up to the Kings proved to be the Predators downfall as they could not muster enough defensive effort to shut down the Kings dangling offensive drive.

This is much cuter than the time Madonna was featured on the Kiss Cam and she made out with her over-inflated sense of self worth.
The Los Angeles Kings are just one of many pro teams that employ the Kiss Cam during breaks in the action, probably because it’s cheap, fun, and the fans seem to get a kick out of it. So it only makes sense that when a Hollywood power couple like...
