The Kings found themselves frustrated by the Wild once again, struggling to get any true, high danger shots on net, something that the Wild have become a bit of a specialist at preventing. They excel at preventing the kinds of up-close opportunities that create goals in today’s NHL; most of the Kings’ shots came from back at the blue line, hoping for a tip in or redirect that just wasn’t coming.
Of course, there are things bigger than hockey, and we’d be remiss not to reiterate the efforts the Kings are participating in to honor and assist the Thousand Oaks community.
