Back up goaltending for you.

Games like this are why when people were complaining about regulation wins earlier in the year and suggesting that the Kings were getting lucky via the loser point, I was pointing out that other teams were actually lucky to be hanging in there by getting soft goals to come back.

Yeah, with JQ in there its likely a shutout. Still, Budaj is hanging in there with a huge workload to boot. Who tends tomorrow?

I didn't see the 2nd period but I saw a few mention he made some good saves there. Looked ok most of the rest of the game too so I don't want to judge too hard. I just don't want him to fall apart either. but he seems to crack a bit under pressure. He's basically the anti-JQ!

Have to imagine Zatkoff gets in.
 
Jeff Carter was so worth Jack Johnson and our No. 1 pick.

ETA: Alex Curry is really growing on me. Her enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air, especially next to a player suffering from indigestion.

Nice win!

Too bad we only have 24 hours before being embarrassed by the Ducks. ;)

4 out of the last 6 points despite the gnarly road trip hangover and missing 2/3 of a top line, a top 4 dman, a top nhl goalie...and with Greene over Gilbert in the lineup...and not forgetting Andreoff who would all push Nolan, Shore, etc. out of the lineup...I'll take it. Don't forget the Devils and Oilers have been pretty damn good this year (Devils 9-5-3, Oilers 9-8-1 now and were leading the division till we helped the Ducks).
 
Carter for Johnson and the 1st has been the absolute undisputed trade right there with Williams for maximum benefit.

It's a little bit of both. The Kings were living by the 3v3 point, with Quick, last year too. Are we saying Quick didn't give up a few too many of those softer goals himself? Quick's numbers last year and Budaj's numbers this year, they're not that dissimilar.

The Kings have already had 7 games scoring 1 or fewer goals, and not shocking in any way, they're 0-7 in regulation in those games. Unless Quick is in 2012 form, he's not winning those games either. They're 4-2 in the other regulation games where they've scored 2 or more goals. If they could've scored, I don't know, maybe a PP goal once in a while in those 7 games, maybe they're not 0-7.

Speaking of scoring goals, now that the 70's line is scoring 2 goals per game again(like they did for a couple weeks early in the 14-15 season), the Kings have a little breathing room in these games. That kind of production won't keep happening for one line, so you have to win the games when they are doing it, and so far so good.

Big game again tomorrow. They can tie for the division lead with a win in regulation.
