For the second game in a row the Kings bring some excitement to Staples Center by ending the game against the Carolina Hurricanes in dramatic fashion.

Iron City Meltdown - Pens 4, Canes 1
The Carolina Hurricanes lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins last night by a score of 4-1. The Canes started the game out on a decent note, taking a 1-0 lead on Brandon Sutter's first career NHL goal. Sutter took the puck from a bumbling Brooks Orpik, who mis-played the puck right in front of the...

Capitals 5, Hurricanes 2
Something came up and I missed the contest last night, but according to all reports the Canes played a much better game than they did on Wednesday. After the "Junior Canes" jumped out to a 2-0 lead, the Washington regulars woke up and took control of the game. Dan LaCouture had one goal while...
Vets Shine in Scrimmage
You could tell the players who have been around a bit from the youngsters yesterday, as the experienced skaters pretty much dominated the red/white scrimmage at the RBC on Sunday afternoon. Dan LaCouture earned first star honors with two goals and an assist. His linemate for most of the game,...
Tales of the Tape: Carolina 10-24, Paul Bissonnette vs. Dan LaCouture
