Its always a big deal when these two teams meet, but the last meeting kicked things up a notch. It was a dominant performance by the Kings as they became the last Western Conference team to log a shutout this season, and it was suitably chippy. The teams combined for 69 penalty minutes in the third period alone and 87 for the game, a season high for the Kings at least. More important for the Kings, they’re working on a seven-game winning streak, while the Ducks have won three in a row overall and nine in a row at home after beating Detroit 3-1 on Wednesday.Its the third meeting of six for these Southern California rivals, and the first of two in four days. The first two went to the Kings, the latest a 4-0 shutout of the Ducks on Jan. 14 in StaplesCenter, making it four wins in a row dating back to last season.
LAs Anze Kopitar has a seven-game point streak (5 goals, 6 assists), one shy of the career high he set two seasons ago. Quick’s seven consecutive wins tie a franchise record, set by Kelly Hrudey (1991-92) and Robb Stauber the following season.
Hiller’s three straight wins are part of an 11-3-0 run in his last 14 games. Ryan Getzlaf had two assists Wednesday, giving him points in 11 of his last 12 games.
Ducks forward Joffrey Lupul is still recovering from back surgery, while Kings defenseman Davis Drewiske (shoulder) has been participating in practices and morning skates, but remains on IR. We will post information about results of this match, as soon as posible.. stay with us.
