It changes just that quick. The Kings have recorded eight consecutive shots on goal and just had a solid, but ultimately fruitless, power play. Visnovsky's pass to Kopitar looked to be a sure goal, but Osgood slid across for the point-blank save. Kings have an 11-6 edge in shots.

Well Handzus looked good on a couple shifts and now it looks like we are back to Handzus and Nagy while Cammi is back on the top line with Kopitar.

Guys get moved around depending on their PP/PK time. When you get some extended 5-on-5 time, it's easier to tell what Crawford's true intentions are with the lines...
