Go figure. After keeping the game tied in a ridiculous second period in which they have generated almost no offense, the Kings fell behind on a shorthanded goal. A long outlet pass found the stick of Tomas Plihal, who made a quick move on Jack Johnson and beat Jason LaBarbera with a wrister. The Kings are being outshot 17-2 in this period.
