LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Kings continue their pursuit of a playoff spot against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday at Staples Center.
Los Angeles (31-27-6) is looking to build on a 3-2 shootout win over the Toronto Maple Leafs that broke a two-game losing streak.
Anze Kopitar, in the midst of a season-long goal scoring slump, potted his seventh goal of the season and scored the lone shootout goal in Los Angeles' first game of a seven-game homestand. The next two weeks are a decisive stretch for the Kings' postseason hopes.
