These bad stretches — and of course, there have been many this season for the Kings — always seem to follow a similar framework. You’ve got your embarrassing loss (6-3 to New Jersey). A bounce-back, feel-good win (5-1 over Vegas). A loss where you did everything but score (3-1 to Detroit, 43 shots on Jimmy freakin’ Howard). An oops (4-3 to Buffalo).
At some point — usually fairly close to the moral victory sort of loss — a team manages to put things together for a long enough period to string together a win.
