After a strong start to the season, the Kings have had more “burn the tape and forget about it” sorts of games lately than they should be completely comfortable with. A reset against the inconsistent Florida Panthers could have been the spark that the team needed, but a rare off-night from Jonathan Quick the next night against the Vegas Golden Knights put the kibosh on that idea. As usual, the Kings responded well after falling behind in the game, but: too little, too late. It’s a familiar story for this team.
They have a chance to reset their reset tonight against the WInnipeg Jets, only, see, there’s this little thing called: The Winnipeg Jets Actually Look Really Good This Season.
