All good things must come to an end and that includes the Ducks six game winning streak and Viktor Fasth being unbeaten in eight starts.
The Kings put an end to all that on Tuesday night in a 5-2 victory.
"It had to come at some point," said Fasth. "For every win you have, you get closer to a [loss]. Just start over, and work hard in practice … we have to forget this and move on. I felt like that during the whole game that I had to work really hard to see the pucks and to keep them to me. It's one of those games."
It was also one of those rare games when the Ducks scored first, something they had not done since February 12 against Chicago. Andrew Cogliano got the Ducks on the board at :13 seconds of the second period.
Dustin Penner tied up the game at 3:16 with his first goal of the year. Then again, it is tough to score goals when you have been a healthy scratch for most of the season. Jarrett Stoll knocked over Saku Koivu, who was no...

from Jon Rosen of LAKingsInsider,
As it stands now – and a primary assist to CapGeek on this – the Kings have 49.26 million dollars allotted towards 13 players for the 2013-14 season. Because the salary cap drops to 64.3 million dollars next season – and there’s certainly a chance that will happen – unless players currently under contract for next season are traded...

Matthew Barry: Kings Win 4th Straight, then Trade Gagne

February 26, 2013
Simon Gagne helped the Kings win a cup.
But he's not as big as Nolan or King or Penner and he's been a healthy scratch.
So the Kings traded him to a team they like to make trades with and a place he's familiar with.
The Kings get a conditional 4th round pick and could it be that Tyler Toffoli gets called up?
The Kings have made 3 trades in the past 3 weeks...

Let’s just say that the Detroit Red Wings did not get the benefit of many friendly whistles in a 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night. The Wings found themselves facing a 5-on-3 on two separate occasions, totaling about four minutes of game time — and the Kings tied the game at one on the second of those two-man advantages, midway through the third.

February 27, 2013
They say you should just throw the puck at the net, and this goal by Detroit Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey is exactly why. His shot went of Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Bernier’s glove, bounced straight up in the air, hit off his head/back and bounced it. Rob Scuderi tried to knock it out of the air but completely whiffed. Bernier had no idea where the puck was and...
