EXCLUSIVE: Kings set to double down with two games at Frozen Fury 2013
March 2, 2013 By
For the second time in history, the Kings’ annual pre-season party in Las Vegas had to be cancelled last September. On both occasions, the fun fell by the wayside due to labor strife between the NHL and NHLPA.

What will Sutter say? Thoughts after Kings 5-2 win vs Ducks
February 25, 2013 By
The Kings had another dominate night in the faceoff circle, winning 63% at the dot. Although Anaheim had more shots (26-25), hits (36-29) and blocked shots (19-10), there was one other key category where LA came out on top – goals. With a final score of 5-2 they extracted a little revenge for the stinker [...]
