You would think that another home loss by the Kings would be no big deal, but Saturday's loss to the Blackhawks included D-man Peter Harrold's first NHL goal, Erik Ersberg's NHL debut, and a startling comeback only marred by the 6-5 OT outcome.
The L.A. Kings finally played like a last place team on Monday night at Staples, losing to Phoenix 4-0. While the Kings outshot the Coyotes 34-29, the game was never close. Shaky goaltending at the start combined with a huge giveaway on the second Phoenix goal set the tone.

The NHL-worst Los Angeles Kings, led by Jason LaBarbera's 39 saves, ended the Rangers three-game winning streak with a 4-2 triumph last night at MSG. Anze Kopitar and Alexander Frolov each had a goal and an assist in the winning effort.
