News/Notes:​

• The Kings finished off their 4 game road trip with a win against the Chicago Blackhawks with ascore of 3-1. The Kings went a perfect 4 for 4 on their road trip beating the Red Wings, Capitals, Blues and Blackhawks and extend their win streak to 5 games going back to their win at home against the Ducks.
  
• The Kings will have a mini home stand starting with the Minnesota Wild followed by the Ottawa Senators and Carolina Hurricanes.
  
• The Minnesota Wild begin their California road trip in LA following a 2-1 OT win over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night. Matthew Dumba scored the game winning goal 39 seconds into overtime.
  
• Devan Dubynk made 41 saves against the Blues and I'm assuming Dubnyk will start against the Kings. Dubnyk is 11-7-2, 2.71 GAA and a .916save% with 3 shutouts on the year.

NBCSN vs. the Wild, who are out of a playoffs spot?

We just need them to play their backup for the full curse.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Hopefully Kempe gets more ice time than last game. Only Brodz played less...

Gross, NBCSN

 

[The Pale King]

I really like the look of our 4th line now with Mitchell in the fold. First time I've been able to say that in a long while.

Not sure how much of this one I'll be able to watch, school is in full on murder-mode right now but I'll try and pop in now and again.

GKG!

[Raccoon Jesus]

need to bring back to superstition-o-meter

I was legitimately going to do it today too, but got slammed at work. Will try to squeeze it in over dinner

 

[Little Psycho]

Screw superstition! We got this!

(lowkey: i'm worried)

 

[bob77]

All the Kings with Minnesota ties score tonight.

What's Milbury going to say about the Kings being back in 1st place?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

What's Milbury going to say about the Kings being back in 1st place?

Psh, it's only been 34% of the season, he's not fooled.

 

[kingsfan28]

What's Milbury going to say about the Kings being back in 1st place?

He won't be impressed, Brown will never sustain his pace, Quick has been lucky, the 4 game road sweep wasn't against teams with healthy rosters.

What's the over/under on holiday car commercials that will be forced upon us tonight?

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

If only we had some Germans on the team!

What's the over/under on holiday car commercials that will be forced upon us tonight?

well thanks now i'm going to notice every single one

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Over under on Pens-Rangers going to a stoppage-filled overtime and 9 round shootout?

 

[kingsfan28]

Waiting for the game to start, the Rangers are trying to lose this game by playing stupid with the lead.

 

[tny760]

are we actually getting a 7:15 start?? on nbc?? no way.

maybe the curse will be broken

 

[kingsfan28]

Anyone else have problems with NBCSN screen flickering black every once in a while on Directv?

The Rangers tried to get the game to OT with their terrible play . I don't know how the Pens didn't tie it up in the end.
