Here's some postgame notes from the Kings, with quotes to follow...

-----

· Anze Kopitar had a goal and two assists (one added late on Dustin Brown's empty-netter). Four Kings finished with a goal and an assist: Brown, Drew Doughty, Alexander Frolov and Tom Preissing.

· Doughty had his second straight multi-point game (1-3=4 in that span).

· The Kings scored three power-play goals tonight, which tied a season high (also had three power-play goals Oct. 14 vs. Anaheim).

· The Kings are 2-0-0 against St. Louis. The last time they beat the Blues more than once in a season was 2005-06 (4-0-0).

· Erik Ersberg is now 8-5-3 in 16 career starts (2-0-1 this season).

· Frolov now has 18 points (10-8=18) in 20 career games vs. St. Louis.

· Kopitar now has 16 points (3-13=16) in 10 career games vs. St. Louis.

Just got back from the game. Another exciting game. And it was nice to see so many people there. It looked almost full.

Rich...

Please post the final score of the game in your blog. This is the only Kings-related site I can bear to visit anymore and it would be helpful if your first blog of the game contained the final score.

Thanks.
