Here are some notes from tonight's Kings game.·
Tonight was Sean O'Donnell's 400th game as a King. He ranks 10th all-time among Kings defensemen in games played.

· The Kings allowed 29 shots tonight. The last time they gave up that many was Oct. 27 vs. Detroit. They've only allowed 29-plus shots three times this season (the other was 41 Oct. 11 at San Jose).

· Drew Doughty played a season-high 28:57 tonight. He also had four blocked shots.

· The Kings are now 4-1-5 all-time in overtime against the Avalanche.

· Dustin Brown had seven shots on goal tonight. He now has 87 this season, which is third most in the NHL.

· Anze Kopitar is now two assists away from 100 as a King and in the NHL. He leads the Kings this season with 12 helpers overall.
