Kings Stumble Into Break with 2nd Straight Loss to a Last-Place Team
The Kings have lost six of seven games, ranking 31st in scoring and power play; defensive efforts remain strong with third-fewest goals allowed in the NHL.

- The Kings' power play woes run deep as they are 13 for their last 106 on the power play and allowed four power-play goals in two nights this season.
