For a long stretch the Kings looked like they didn't deserve a win Wednesday. They essentially quit playing after a two-goal lead, and the Edmonton Oilers kept getting chance after chance well into the third period.
But the Kings held it together long enough to prevail, 5-2, to store two points before a potentially season-defining seven-game run away from home.
Do the Kings stick with Kuemper or return to Jonathan Quick? The schedule features two sets of back-to-back games on the trip, so it stands to reason they will call on both.
Statistically speaking, Quick has allowed five goals in each of his past two starts.
