""It's an already difficult pill to swallow for a Kings team that can't figure out a way to score goals, win games in regulation, or win games in overtime, and it's an even bigger pill to swallow when you drop back-to-back games against your bitter rivals who are chasing you in the standings.""
""We're used to it. It's almost part of the evening for us these days," Kings coach Jim Hiller said. "We're ready for it, we just haven't been able to execute well enough.""
The Los Angeles Kings scored fewer than two goals and lost in overtime, marking their league-leading 13th overtime defeat and fourth overtime loss in seven games. The loss continued an offensive struggle that prevents regulation wins and extra-point conversions. The Kings entered the game with a two-point lead and an opportunity to widen the gap to six points, but the teams are now tied with 51 points.
