News/Notes
- The Habs got off to a bad start on their California road trip dropping their first game 5-2 against the Sharks as the Habs lose their 11th straight game in San Jose and 5th straight game this season.
- Carey Price not off to the best start sporting only a 3.56 GAA with a .885 save %. It is unknown whether or not Price will start again against the Kings. With the Habs start being less than stellar I would not be surprised if Claude Julien goes with Montoya.
- The Kings defeated the New York Islanders by a narrow score of 3-2. It was a back and forth affair with the Isles getting their fair share of chances, but the Kings lead by leading point man Anze Kopitar and defenseman Drew Doughty converted a 2 on 1 short handed goal to give the Kings the edge.
- Darcy Kuemper earns his first win as an LA Kings player with 23 saves after playing 5 seasons with the Minnesota Wild
- Former 2013 4th round pick, Justin Auger, just got called up by the LA Kings and is looking to make his official NHL debut against the Montreal Canadiens. Auger was a part of the Manchester Monarchs who won the Calder Cup in the 2014-15 season. Auger has 43 goals, 42 assists in 202 AHL games, but currently no points yet this season with the Ontario Reign
- Johnny Brodzinski makes way for Justin Auger as he gets sent back down to the Ontario Reign.
- This is officially the Kings best 5 game start in the Franchise's 51 year history
