Pittsburgh PenguinsThe Los Angeles Kings have now edged just beyond the halfway point of this condensed season, and currently reside in a tie for fourth place within the Western Conference. Their overall record of 14-9-2 has also enabled them to secure the second best record inside the Pacific Division. However, they remain tightly bunched with ...
Based on the “eye test”, posing this question seems utterly asinine and most people have probably answered “NO!” already. Los Angeles Kings’ forward Jeff Carter doesn’t have the stats or all-around game that Sidney Crosby has. He’s not the perennial scorer that Steven Stamkos is. He isn’t even leading his own team in points (Anze ...
Let me say this right off the bat: I may be reasonably clever (not many would review Zero Dark Thirty as a failed romantic comedy on another site), but no, I didn’t come up with this one. Tongue firmly planted in cheek, Jim Fox has been recently and repeatedly pitching Jeff Carter for the Cy ...

The defending 2012 Stanley Cup champions started the season 3-5-2 and ...
On the ice, the Los Angeles Kings have won three games in a row, and 4 out of their last 5 to move them to within a point of 8th place in the West. Off the ice, the organization has made significant efforts towards raising money for the Kings Care Foundation, a non-profit charity that ...
Counting tonight’s 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, the Kings have now played fifteen games during this truncated, lockout-shortened season. Fifteen games, fifteen reasons to worry that this year’s edition didn’t deserve its preseason hype and in fact may even miss the playoffs. After all, this is the Kings — for a variety of reasons ...
The last team to win a game in 2012 was also the last team to reach the 12 game mark in the NHL this season. Unfortunately for the Los Angeles Kings, the first quarter of their season has been a far cry from their magical Stanley Cup run last spring. Through 12 games, the Kings ...
He sports a career record of 134-91-27 in nearly four full NHL seasons, along with a very solid G.A.A. of 2.31 and save percentage of .916. A winner of 35 or more games in each of the last three seasons, he posted a goals against average of 1.95 and save percentage of .929 in 2011-12. ...
