MayorsManor First Goal Contest: Game 15 – Kings at Flames

February 20, 2013 By John Hoven

It’s our third contest in four days. Are you ready for it?

Jeff Carter scored again on Tuesday night and continues to lead the Kings in that department with seven goals on the season. But, think fast – who leads the team in points?

If you guessed Mike Richards or Anze Kopitar, you were correct. They both have nine points, recording the same four goals and five assists.

Meanwhile, Dustin Penner and Trevor Lewis continue their search for goal number one – it’s something they talked about yesterday here. Read it to understand more about how hockey players view confidence.

Now on to the contest.

This one should be easy enough to enter – simply place a comment below with the LAST NAME of the LA Kings player you think will score first vs. the Flames tonight (one entry per person). We’ll take all of the correct entries and pool them together. From that group, one random winner will get the t-shirt pictured.

Today’s contest is sponsored by RefYouSuck.com – – they have a full selection of hats, shirts and sweatshirts. So, after you enter the MayorsManor First Goal Contest, be sure to head over to their site and check out all the good stuff they offer.

Now, to help you with your selection/entry/guess, here are the line combinations coach Darryl Sutter is expected to use…

FORWARDS

Dustin Brown – Anze Kopitar – Justin Williams

Kyle Clifford – Mike Richards – Jeff Carter

* Based on his strong play last night, it’s reasonable to expect Lewis will also receive time with Stoll

DEFENSE

Keaton Ellerby – Drew Doughty

Rob Scuderi – Slava Voynov

Davis Drewiske – Jake Muzzin

Healthy Scratches: Andrew Campbell, Simon Gagne and Brad Richardson
