I was really hoping to write tons of scathing remarks about the Ottawa Senators for their dreadful losing streak, so I was looking at the Los Angeles Kings to absolutely demolish an injury-and-COVID-riddled lineup by a 6-1 score or something similar. Instead of that, we get two deflected goals and Jonathan Quick returning to Cup-winning form? Boring!
When their low-end roster is supposedly at its weakest, they put together two performances in which you couldn’t realistically ask for much more. There are tons of reasons to be upset, but there are also quite a few reasons not to lose hope, at least not yet.
