Without number one centerman Anze Kopitar, the Kings clawed their way to an even finish in regulation. The Kings remain good in overtime, thankfully.
With Marian Gaborik injured and Anze Kopitar listed as day to day, the Kings came into tonight lacking even less offensive punch than usual. A Michael Mersch callup hoped to remedy some of that. Oh yeah, Jordan Nolan was listed as day to day as well.
The game in Nashville got off to a rough start for the Kings. The Predators are a team that are excellent at limiting opponent shots and scoring chances, and they're the number two possession team behind Los Angeles.
