Additional Post-Game Notes:
One big spoonful of help…
Kings are wildly inconsistent, need to fix the defense, coach isn't being fired, better goaltending would help — but isn't the glaring problem.
Roster will be noticeably different in 30-45 days. https://t.co/15ZNUZyWYN

This is a tough road right before Christmas all of the players family and friends are enjoying the start of the festive season while the Kings sit in hotel rooms. Yes they are paid very well but the fact remains they are human. The track record of long December road trip success as opposed to long January road trips will prevail. The team will still make playoffs just be patience and trust in this team. Looking forward to rest of the season and that’s why they play 82 games.
