There are still parts of their game the Kings would like to smooth out, some moments they critiqued after they defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, 2-1, on Saturday afternoon at Staples Center to stretch their winning streak to five games.
But the most important fix has been made, and that's to their approach to this season.
Unlike last season, when they meandered along and were shocked when they failed to grab a playoff spot, they're taking care of business early and often. They were assured of a 12-point lead atop the Pacific Division following Saturday's games, and according to the Elias Sports Bureau that's the largest division lead in franchise history.
