Some notes
The last time the Kings scored nine goals was Nov. 16, 1995, against the Islanders at the Forum.
Frolov set a career high with five points and Nagy tied his high with five.
Lubo was a team-best plus-4.
The Kings scored a season-high five power-play goals. The club record is six.
The team will take tomorrow off. Practice was canceled. I guess they earned this one.

i bought a new hat before the game, can i get a 20% refund ?
LuboCookie looked awesome last night
I don't get it.
The team complained about not being able to practice during the condensed stretch, and then when they got to practice, they win 3 in a row. So now they cancel practice?
It seem like it was helping.
But mostly, I'm just upset I didn't have a reason to go to TSC to get some of those awesome mozzarella sticks.
