Alrighty, I'm happy to say the Kings are looking good! Great win for the boys tonight who are fighting in a very tough conference to make the playoffs, and an even better win for J-Quick. Quick recorded his 10th shutout for the season, setting him up as the league leader in shutouts this year.
34 seconds into the third period of a scoreless game, Slava Voynov scored his 8th goal of the season on a one-time slap shot from an assist by Anze Kopitar. Brad Richardson also picked up an assist on the play.
With 2:32 remaining in the game Dwight King picked up a goal which helped all of us King's fans breathe a little bit easier. Mike Richards assisted on the goal. It was a beautiful pass that led to a beautiful shot.
Kings Win! 2-0
The King's defense was a HUGE factor in tonights play as they outshot the Oilers 37-19.
I've gotta hand it to the Oilers goalie, Devan Dubnyk. If it weren't for some of his excellent saves I believe we could've put at least 4 pucks in the net. The Oilers offense on the other hand was fairly absent most of the game due to the aggressive play by the Los Angeles Kings defense. To prove a point, the Oilers went on a 4-minute power play and didn't get a single shot off. The second best defense in the league shined tonight and I can't stress it enough.
As the regular season comes closer to the end, the Kings get ready for their last two games...both of which we face-off against the San Jose Sharks. The playoff race is still tight, but if we continue to play the way we have been, we'll be just fine. I only have one thing to say for the Sharks and their fans....
Smile you son of a b-!
