EL SEGUNDO, CA — The day after a frustrating 2-0 defeat at the hands of goaltender Kari Lehtonen and the Dallas Stars at Staples Center, the Los Angeles Kings were back on practice ice at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo, California, preparing to face Daniel and Henrik Sedin and the Vancouver Canucks on March 23 (1:00 PM PDT, Staples Center).

After the Coyotes had the best of the scoring chances early in the first period, Kings rookie defenseman Jake Muzzin opened the scoring on a shot from the top of the left circle at the 6:01 mark, with the Kings on the power play. Muzzin’s shot was deflected near the point of origin by Coyotes right wing David Moss, changing the direction of the shot.
