Kings-Columbus game about to get underway

on FSN West. As you know, Dustin Brown is out with a shoulder injury and Nagy is back. The Kings just can't seem to get fully healthy. Brown leads the team with 16 goals. Jason LaBarbera is in net, his third start in a row since coming back from the ribs injury. I'd venture to guess that Aubin starts in Nashville tomorrow. Columbus is 14-13-6 with 34 points, tied with Chicago for third in the Central Division. The Kings are 12-21-2 with 26 points, the worst total in the NHL, and are on a five-game losing streak. Columbus also is struggling of late, losing four of its past five. Rick Nash leads the Blue Jackets with 18 goals and 13 assists. In the previous matchup between the teams this season, the Kings lost 4-1 at Staples Center on Halloween night. Jason Chimera scored twice for Columbus in that one. Kyle Calder scored the lone Kings goal, though that was also the game he broke his thumb.
