It's very simple tonight for the Kings. A win of any kind and they're in. it can be in regulation, overtime or a shootout it doesn't matter. Winning clinches the 3rd seed in the Pacific division and the automatic playoff spot that comes with it.

Greiss is in net for the Yotes. I'm assuming it's Quick in net for LA

Hopefully the Kings take this game seriously and don't only go for the 1 point. They have played well since the OB, but taking these 2 points away from the Dogs is just as important as getting the 1 to lock in.

I was hoping for Smith, but then remembered he is hurt. May not be a bad thing, he has gone 11-4-1/2.16 GAA/.928 SP against the Kings in 17 career RS games.

Not to mention a very hurt ego since the Kings beat him when it mattered.

What was Nolan thinking????

He was thinking he'd like to lay Hanzal out but then Hanzal ducked down and took an elbow to the head for his trouble.

Wow if the Kings could play 60 minutes with that intensity they would be unbeatable

 

[smackdown380]

Carter with a golden opportunity to close out the 2nd, overall good play by the Kings. Need to come out strong in the 3rd as Phoenix will likely be coming out strong knowing they are down 2 and need points. Please no meltdown like the Minnesota game.
