EL SEGUNDO, CA — To say that versatile Los Angeles Kings forward Trevor Lewis is making the most of his opportunities lately might be the understatement of the season for the Kings.

Lewis’ ten assists matches a career high.

EL SEGUNDO, CA — Back in the 2006-07 season, the Los Angeles Kings lost goalies Stephane Fiset and Jamie Storr to injury for an extended period, forcing the team to recall Barry Brust and Yutaka Fukufuji from the minors.

Neither goalie was anywhere close to being ready to face National Hockey League-caliber shooters, and, as you might expect, they got lit up.

Fiset and Storr did not suffer their injuries in the same game. In both instances, the Kings had a backup goaltender on the bench who was able to finish the game when they suffered their injuries.

EL SEGUNDO, CA — On March 2, 2015, a day when 24 trades involving 43 players were made in the National Hockey League, the Los Angeles Kings decided to stand pat, having already acquired veteran defenseman Andrej Sekera on February 25, in exchange for a conditional first round draft pick and defenseman prospect Roland McKeown.

With no trade deadline deals to analyze, let’s take a look at center Nick Shore, who is working to lock down a permanent roster spot with the Kings during what has become a huge struggle to make the playoffs.

Frozen Royalty Video: Greene, Brown, Carter and Sutter After LA Kings Drop 4-2 Decision at Anaheim

February 28, 2015 Leave a comment

ANAHEIM, CA — For the second consecutive game, the Los Angeles Kings were sloppy with the puck, and ended up spending a lot of time in their own zone. The result: a come-from-ahead 4-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center in Anaheim on February 27.

The Kings took a 2-0 lead into the third period, but that lead was deceiving, as it was the Ducks who were in control, with the exception of the final ten minutes of the first period.

In the third, the Ducks capitalized on turnovers and sloppy play by the Kings to score four unanswered goals (the fourth goal was an empty-net goal) to secure the win.
