News/Notes per Jon Rosen:​
  • Jonathan Quick, who turned 32 today, left the ice first and will be expected to start against the Rangers. In his career, he’s 4-4-0 with a 2.50 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage in eight regular season games against New York. Jonny Brodzinski, who rotated through the Amadio line, Andy Andreoff, who skated as an extra defenseman to balance out the pairs, and Paul LaDue remained on the ice for extra work with Darcy Kuemper, so they’re likely out of the lineup tonight.
  • The Rangers will be without Chris Kreider (blood clot) and Kevin Shattenkirk, who will undergo knee surgery tomorrow to repair a torn meniscus. Michael Grabner (flu) did not play yesterday in Colorado, a 3-1 loss to the Avalanche in which Lundqvist stopped 34-of-36 shots.
  • Lundvist is 21-12-4 W-L | 2.54 GAA | 0.924 SV% | 2 SO on the season and is is 5-4-2 with a 2.52 GAA and a .920 Sv% versus Los Angeles.
  • The Kings have netted 11 goals in their last six games and haven’t held a lead since the second period of their 4-3 loss to Calgary on January 4, a span of nearly 266 minutes.
  • Cool little fun fact

I believe 8 teams have now completely passed them in the standings, in total points and points%, since this losing streak started. There has to be a little bit more urgency tonight, yes?

Nah, we should be happy with this team the way it is. They are the embodiment of perfection. Or mediocrity.
 
Jonathan Quick turned 32 today, how many more years can he be on top of his game?

I have incredible respect for Quick, but given the level he needs to play at for this roster to be successful, it is a concern.
