The Anaheim Ducks were looking to keep their winning feel alive when they travelled up the road to take on the Los Angeles Kings in the first game this season of the Freeway Faceoff. Unfortunately, the game did not go as the Ducks hoped it would, as they would fall to the Kings 4-1, giving the Ducks their 8th loss in 9 games.
It seems that firing the Kings coach was just the kick in the butt the Kings needed to help them push through this game and get a win both teams very much need.
