We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Kings.
The Los Angeles Kings were able to cure their recent woes and beat the St. Louis Blues at home 6-4:
“The Kings finally returned home after a long 5 game road trip in which they went just 1-3-1.
In tonight’s high scoring affair the Blues got out to early lead. In the span of three minutes the Blues opened up a 3-0 lead. David Backes scored a powerplay goal, and Dmitrij Jaskin followed up with a goal of his own. Kevin Shattenkirk chipped in yet another powerplay goal and Kings fans found themselves screaming at their TVs.
Marian Gaborik finally answered with the Kings first goal of the game which was a powerplay goal that was assisted by Jeff Carter and Anze Kopitar. The Kings would end the first period down 3-1.
Anze Kopitar scored a goal in the second period that was assisted by Marian Gaborik and Jeff Carter. Gaborik scored his second goal of the game shortly after which tied the game at three apiece. The game wasn’t tied for long after Jori Lehtera scored a goal to give the Blues a 4-3 lead.”

Defenseman Robyn Regehr was placed on injured reserve by the Los Angeles Kings on Friday with an upper-body injury:
“The defending Stanley Cup champions recalled Jeff Schultz from the AHL after the latest significant setback for the Kings’ defensive corps.
Regehr was hurt during the second period of Los Angeles’ 6-4 comeback victory over St. Louis on Thursday. He is likely to be out at least two weeks with the unspecified injury.
The Kings’ patchwork lineup is a significant factor in their intermittent defensive struggles this season after Jonathan Quick won the Jennings Trophy last year representing the NHL’s best defensive team. Schultz would be the ninth defenseman to play for Los Angeles this season.
Los Angeles is still sixth in the NHL with just 2.36 goals allowed per game, but has given up 21 regulation goals in its last five games.
Regehr, Alec Martinez and Jake Muzzin have already missed significant stretches of the season with injuries, while Slava Voynov will miss his 28th straight game Saturday against Arizona while under suspension after his arrest on a felony domestic violence charge. The Russian Olympian’s indefinite suspension will be one of the longest in NHL history.”
