Rollin' Through DC...

And putting a Cap in Washington with a solid 4-1 win.

Four different players scored goals for the Kings, including Kopi.

Ovechkin with lone Caps goal.

They pick up yet two more points. Perhaps biggest win of season so far.

Streak is now at 6-0-2 in last eight; 3-0-2 on current roadie.

Next stop: monster game in Philly tomorrow.

It's All in the Point

Just keep picking up those points.

They pick up one in the standings despite the overtime loss in Pittsburgh.

Streak is now 5-0-2 in the last seven, and 2-0-2 on the road trip.

Next stop: DC to face Alex Ovechkin and the Caps.

Streaking...

Right back into a playoff spot. 5-0-1 in last six.

The entire division holds a playoff spot now. Yes, all five teams. That's insane and unheard of.

11-10

All-Star Game final. Team Kopitar... I mean... Team Lidstrom wins. Kopi with two goals.

Patrick Sharp of losing Team Staal wins MVP.

Kings back in action Tuesday in Minny. Then Wednesday in Hockeytown.

Oh Lookie Here!

That's three in a row!

Folks, imagine this: we have ourselves... *gasp*... a winning streak!

Big win over those Little-Fishies-to-the-North.

On to the All-Star Break. Sweet Carolina! (Yes, I know it's Caroline...)

Well, Well...

Kings finally remembered how to win a game.

After all the close games they've been losing of late, it's nice to finally win one of those.

Boston's next at Staples tomorrow night.

Back-to-Back

2-1 losses on back-to-back nights. One in Dallas last night, and one in St. Louis tonight.

That puts the streak at 2-8 in their last 10.

Ouch.

Hey Look at That!

A win last night! While wearing their retro purple and golds! 2-0 in those games!

1-7

That's where the current streak is after another poor offensive performance Thursday night against the Blues, which is what the Kings are feeling these days. And to do it on Dodger Pride Night with new Dodger manager Don Mattingly and a handful of Dodger players in house to christen the night.

So is tonight's game just what the doctor ordered? They get the lowly Oilers at home. You would think they should beat them pretty handily, but we'll see how they come out tonight.

There's no reason to be in a panic mode, but some of these losses of late are just flat out frustrating.

Not So Fast...

Another loss to another mediocre-to-bad team. Frustrating.

On the bright side, Kopi's going to the All-Star Game! Congrats, Anze!

Bye Bye Baby Bye Bye

And that was all she wrote... down goes the five game losing skid. And throw in a nice seven-year extension for J.J.

All is good again in Hockeywood, right?!

Well Isn't This Just Great

Not a good time to be playing your worse hockey and riding a five-game losing streak on top of it.

Yes, there is a cause for concern here...

Another Night...

Another loss. This is becoming very frustrating, the inconsistencies.

But damn the Blackhawks and their cheap-ass fluke fourth goal late in the game. What a joke! What a way to lose a game.

Another Loss

But this time, the defense showed up, and the offense stayed home. Well done.

Say What?

Those were two horribly pathetic performances by the Kings the past two games. Way to ring in the New Year... find your defense, please.

In Case You Missed It...

Check out this incredible pass from Anze Kopitar to Dustin Brown in last night's Kings 4-0 shellacking of the Sharks...

Mile High Rout

Well, that was a fun night. Kings 5, Avs 0. Dustin Brown with two goals. Marco Sturm made his Kings debut. Life is good again in Hockeywood!

Ok, Much Better

Kings 6, Nashville 1. That's more like it.

On to Chicago to face the Stanley Cup Champions tomorrow!

Yikes!

I think I'm glad I missed tonight's game. That is all.

Kings Complete Trade

The Kings have officially completed a trade today for winger Marco Sturm from Boston that was originally reported several weeks ago. Sturm passed his physical this afternoon, and will travel to St. Louis to join the team. Sturm hopes to be ready to play sometime next week.

The trade comes on the heels of an impressive win for the Kings last night on the road in Detroit, where they slammed the Red Wings 5-0. Jonathan Quick saved a whopping 51 shots in the shutout for the Kings, and Willie Mitchell was back in action and played a big role in the game defensively. Mitchell took Brad Richardson's roster spot as he was placed on injured reserved with an unknown injury.

After a rough stretch in which the Kings lost six of seven following their great start, the team has turned it around and won four of its last five games, picking up points in all five contests, including two big, impressive wins against Detroit.

The Kings currently sit in seventh place with 35 points in a hotly-contested Western Conference which also has four of the five Pacific Division teams in the Top 8, and all five teams within just four points of each other.
