One last early-for-the-Pacific game. One last stop on this leg of the road trip. It’s been a brutal stretch for the Kings, who, when they have played well, still haven’t always been rewarded with goals, or wins.
A strong effort against the Devils helped to right the ship before too much panic could set in. For the Kings, there have been some minor changes to the lines, with Dustin Brown being rewarded for his recent play with another spin on the top line with Kopitar and Gaborik. Kyle Clifford jumps up to Jeff Carter’s right, and Dwight King returns to the depth role that he’s best at.
