Season sweep by last-place Kings places Blackhawks 1 sport away

LOS ANGELES — Another letdown towards the last-place Kings left the Blackhawks one sport away from elimination within the wild-card race.

That’s form of what occurred. Even although we did quite a lot of good issues, don’t matter

Patrice Bergeron Laments Bruins’ ‘Unfortunate’ Overtime Loss To Kings

The Boston Bruins had one of the NHL’s hottest teams on the ropes Saturday night, but the Los Angeles Kings’ late-game magic pegged the B’s with a frustrating loss.

Patrice Bergeron tipped his cap to L.A. after the Bruins’ 2-1 loss, but he understandably was upset with the outcome considering how well his team played for the majority of the game.

NBA Rumors: Kings Could Pay Big Price To Move Up To Draft De’Aaron Fox

The Sacramento Kings have their eye on a certain NBA draft prospect, but they might have to move up in order to secure him.

by Zack Cox on Sun, Mar 20, 2016 at 2:08AM 351 “Playing a 60-minute game” is such a common hockey cliche for a reason, the Boston Bruins showed it Saturday night. Boston saved perhaps the best two periods of its California road trip for last, but they were not enough to make up for the inauspicious start to Saturday night’s 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center. The Kings nearly tripled up the Bruins in shots on net in the first 20 minut...
