Pittsburgh PenguinsWhile the Los Angeles Kings continue to figure out their scoring situation, finding a way to play Jonathan Bernier yet in net, may be even more vital to their success. Yes Jonathan Quick and the Kings’ defense has been the backbone of the team this season, but recent history suggests a more equitable distribution of ...
After the Los Angeles Kings and Columbus Blue Jackets swapped Jack Johnson and Jeff Carter, many wondered if the next big name to go would be Dustin Brown or Rick Nash. Whether or not the Kings’ Captain is still on the block, he certainly made a strong impression against the Chicago Blackhawks. One might even ...

A game where one could use the names Kyle Clifford and Gordie Howe, in the same sentence. For an inter-conference ...
