05/24/2012 10:23 Gretzky started it, but long building program now paying for Kings
Wayne Gretzky long ago planted the seeds in Tinseltown. But Craig Morgan says a long building process and key trade have the Kings four wins from a Stanley Cup title and the need for a much bigger bandwagon in L.A.
05/23/2012 00:48 Penner's OT goal eliminates Coyotes, sends Kings to Stanley Cup Final
Dustin Penner scored 17:42 into overtime and the Los Angeles Kings are headed to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time as a franchise after beating the Phoenix Coyotes with a 4-3 victory in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals Tuesday night.
Kopitar was well on his way to setting career highs until a scoring slump in January and February and then had his season cut short with an ugly ankle injury in late March. It was still a fine season (25 G, 48 A) out of the 23-year-old but not quite the breakout season many were anticipating. He's a safe bet for 18-20 goals at even strength, but will need to be better on the power play (six goals, 12 assists last year) if he wants to return to the 30-goal plateau. His offseason rehab from ankle surgery has gone well, though we'll have a better idea on his status once training camp starts. (Updated 10/4/11)
