Indeed, the Kings really do need to get dirty. More specifically, they are getting very few opportunities to score the “dirty goals” to this point in the abbreviated 2013 season. The result? A meager 2-2-2 start to the season.
A dearth of scoring chances from the prime scoring areas was most evident this season in the Kings’ last game on January 31, when they dropped a 2-1 shootout loss to the Nashville Predators at Staples Center.
“We had a lot of offensive zone time, but it was a lot of cycles,” said forward Jeff Carter. “We really didn’t get much off it.”

LOS ANGELES — Brandon Yip scored just 58 seconds into the game, and Sergei Kostitsyn was credited with the shootout game-winner to lead the Nashville Predators to a 2-1 shootout win over the Los Angeles Kings in front of a sell-out crowd of 18,118 fans at Staples Center on January 31.
