- Updated: December 24, 2014
Each week CaliSports News will present the updated list of the NHL Pacific Division standings. Going into Week 12 of the NHL the Los Angeles Kings are sitting second from the bottom in the standings. See it below:
Most recently the Los Angeles Kings lost to bottom of the division Calgary Flames. Here is a recap from that game:
“The Los Angeles Kings scored early in period one. The first goal came from Trevor Lewis after an assist from Drew Doughty and Brayden McNabb. The second goal came again in the first period but this time the puck was put in by Marian Gaborik off of a power play.
The next goal wouldn’t come until the second period for the Los Angeles Kings following some penalties to both teams in the first. 4:32 in and Jamie McBain scored on another power play with assists from Dustin Brown and Justin Williams making the score 3-0.
In the 18th minute the Calgary Flames scored their first goal by Johnny Gaudreau on a power play. They scored twice more in the third period and once in overtime to put the last nail in the Kings coffin. This added two more goals for Johnny Gaudreau and one in overtime for Mark Giordano.
The Los Angeles Kings have continued to struggle whenever they take and hold the lead for the duration of the game.”

The Los Angeles Kings were able to come out a game though, this time against the Arizona Coyotes:
“It was a good night for the Los Angeles Kings. Not only were they able to take over the game and come out with a win against the Arizona Coyotes 4-2. It was also the three-year anniversary of Coach Sutter taking the Kings job.
“I just know from being a farmer that the days are really short and we need a little bit more sunlight,” Sutter said. “What is it? The 19th or the 20th? Then we start going the other way. We need that – a little more sunlight. A couple of more minutes tomorrow.”
Marian Gaborik and Alec Martinez both managed to score power-play goals as the LA Kings were able to erase some bad puck luck with “another opportunistic game with the man advantage.” So far, the Kings have gone 5-for-11 on the power play the past two games after a 1-3-1 road trip, and Kopitar couldn’t explain it.”
