Kings Team Report
(Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:25:30 PDT)
As they try to secure their first playoff berth since 2002, the Kings have a significant problem on their hands. They can't seem to beat good teams these days.
Following their 3-0 loss to Chicago on Thursday night at Staples Center, the Kings have now won only three games out of seven since the Olympic break. Those three wins have come against two teams, Dallas and Columbus, that are currently out of the Western Conference playoff picture.
The Kings still sit sixth in the West, but in order to reach the postseason, they're going to have to collect some quality wins. After Saturday's game against the struggling New York Islanders, the Kings have two games against the Colorado Avalanche, the team directly ahead of them in the conference standings.
