End of 1: Kings 1, Canes 1: Mike Richards scored a sharp-angle, short-side goal with less than a minute remaining in the first period to give the Kings a 1-0 lead, but Andrej Sekera tallied just 40 seconds later and the game is tied at 1 at intermission.
The Kings have won their first two games following the Olympic break, pushing their overall winning discount car rentals in fort lauderdale streak to three straight following a 1-8-1 rut. Los Angeles has not won four in a row since claiming six straight victories from Dec. 2-14.
The Kings went into the break having scored just 15 goals in 11 games before discount car rentals in fort lauderdale notching a 6-4 win at Colorado on Wednesday. The offense went quiet again the following night, but Jonathan Quick's 25-save shutout led his club to a 2-0 win over the Calgary discount car rentals in fort lauderdale Flames.
Quick is likely to make his second start today for the Kings since serving as the No. 1 netminder for Team USA during the Winter Olympics. He faced the Hurricanes for the first time in his career on Oct. 11, making 27 saves in a 2-1 shootout win.
Ward is 2-0-2 with a 1.69 goals against average in his career versus the Kings and made his first appearance since Dec. 31 in Tuesday's 3-2 setback discount car rentals in fort lauderdale to Buffalo that began a five-game road trip. Ward had been out with a lower-body ailment.
Carolina coach Kirk Muller on Thursday went back to Anton Khudobin, who is 13-7-0 with a 2.18 GAA this season and has never faced the Kings, and had good words for his netminder despite a 4-1 loss to Dallas that saw the Stars score twice shorthanded.
"He's an elite goalie. He's doing the job every night," said Muller about Khudobin. "He gave us the chance again to stay in this game. He made some amazing, huge saves. But like I said, we just didn't get the goals and give him a chance to win this hockey game tonight."
I am so tired of Tripp and John continually complimenting the Canes for playing with intensity and "digging down". Playing with intensity and "digging down" should involve winning...at least once in awhile.
