Scott Burnside: I hear what Los Angeles Kings GM Dean Lombardi is saying when he says he obtained Ben Bishop from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday to have a No. 1 goalie every night, along with the recently returned Jonathan Quick. But I still don't get it. It's not that the Kings are out of it by any stretch, but are the Kings currently out of the playoff picture because of their goaltending? Not really. The Kings are fifth in the NHL in goals allowed per game and Peter Budaj, now a Lightning, is tied for the league lead with seven shutouts.
