Last month, players from both clubs met up in a charity [...]

If you didn’t attend Friday’s charity game at the Kings practice facility in El Segundo, you missed a great night of hockey.

On what should be opening night, Drew Doughty says he’s bored
October 11, 2012 By
If you weren’t bummed out by the NHL lockout just yet, things probably hit home today. Fans in Philadelphia, Colorado, Montreal and Calgary should be filling their local arenas tonight for the start of the 2012-13 NHL season. Yet as everybody knows, that isn’t happening.
