As expected, Erik Ersberg will make his eighth consecutive start in goal when the Kings host Washington tomorrow night. Overall, Ersberg has a 1.95 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage in nine games. As a starter, Ersberg has allowed two or fewer goals in five of his seven starts and has yet to allow more than three goals in a game. Here’s what Terry Murray said about staying with Ersberg…

MURRAY: “Ersberg has been good. He has played well. We’ve had half a dozen or seven real good hockey games that we could have had a better result in, just with us finding a way to score at the right time and the appropriate time, maybe on the power play. But we’ve had a good run here and we want to snap back after a two-game losing streak and get back into the winning ways. But I’m certainly not putting LaBarbera on the shelf. I know we’ve got a couple back-to-backs coming up, so we’ll get him geared up and ready to go there.”
