MayorsManor First Goal Contest: Game 41 – Avs at Kings

April 11, 2013 By John Hoven

Although game 41 usually marks the halfway point of the NHL regular season, this time around – thanks to the lockout – it only means we’re that much closer to the end of the season. Just eight games go.

As part of our push to the playoffs here on MayorsManor we’re running a contest where one lucky winner will receive a free Fathead of their choice from the LA Kings Stanley Cup collection. Each correct entry in the First Goal Contests run on April 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 21 and 27 (i.e. the Kings’ seven home games in April) will be pooled together and one randomly selected person will be announced as the overall winner.

Best of all, entering the contest is extremely easy, just follow these three simple steps…

STEP 1 – Some required reading:

– Doughty and Lewis, the NHL’s lovable odd couple

– Former Kings and Avs forward Warren Rychel shares some of his favorite NHL memories

– Kings’ prospect Kevin Gravel talks pressure of NCAA Frozen Four

STEP 2 – Click HERE here to see the prize you could win. Go ahead, pick it out ahead of time. Do you know which Fathead you would claim as your own? When you do, you’re ready to move on.

STEP 3 – Place a comment below with the LAST NAME of the LA Kings player you think will score first vs. the Avalanche (one entry per person, per Kings game played).

To get you started, here are the line combinations and D-pairings that coach Darryl Sutter is expected to use:

FORWARDS

Dustin Brown – Anze Kopitar – Justin Williams

Dustin Penner – Mike Richards – Jeff Carter

Dwight King – Jarret Stoll – Trevor Lewis

Kyle Clifford – Brad Richardson – Jordan Nolan

DEFENSE

Robyn Regehr – Drew Doughty

Rob Scuderi – Slava Voynov

Jake Muzzin – Keaton Ellerby

Healthy Scratches: Colin Fraser, Alec Martinez and Tyler Toffoli

In net, Jonathan Quick will get the start for LA.

Colorado will counter with NHL rookie Sami Aittokalli.

Good luck in the contest!
