Just when it looked like the season may be heading south, gigantic victories over Buffalo and Detroit have the Kings on a recent roll. Currently on a four-game win streak, Los Angeles is in third place in the Pacific Division, up to 6th in West, and 10th in the NHL with 65 points and a 31-19-3 record. In order to continue to improve and become a serious contender for the playoffs in March, the rest of the squad will need to provide more firepower behind their leader, center Anze Kopitar.

About The Los Angeles Kings
Kopitar leads the Kings in all three offensive categories, with 51 points, 20 goals and 31 assists, and is on pace to better last season’s point production by at least 20 points. Defenseman Drew Doughty (40 points, 30 assists) and rightwing Dustin Brown (36 points, 24 assists) round out the top three in Los Angeles, followed by four others at, or above, the 30-point level, and two with 20 or more, so this team’s scoring is well distributed.
Goaltender Jonathan Quick (29-16-3, 2.56 GAA, .907 save %), recently signed to a three-year contract extension, is tied for 3rd in the NHL with 29 victories, but unfortunately his uninspiring save percentage does not necessarily leave a comfortable feeling when Quick is between the pipes. Additionally, it is up to LA’s young and extremely talented group of defensemen to step up and show how intimidating they can be in order for the Kings and Quick to up the totals in the win column.
This may well be the first time in eight seasons that this team can get back to the playoffs. While still youngsters, they are learning to win and play as a unit, so the potential is there to improve with each and every outing. Get your tickets now, and come watch the Los Angeles Kings as they strive to finish the season strong and provide a solid showing in the NHL postseason come March.
The Kings promise to be nothing if not eager and very interesting in 2010. Led by a very talented group of youngsters like Thomas Hickey and Colton Teubert, the club shows definite signs of returning to past glory. Additionally, Rob Scuderi – who came over from Pittsburgh – and Wayne Simmonds will help generate enthusiasm for Los Angeles Kings tickets and possible postseason excitement.
