After consecutive rough games against Buffalo and Detroit, in which they gave up a total of 11 goals, the Kings have put up two shutouts and a 2-1 loss. Defenseman Matt Greene talked about the Kings’ ability to bounce back and put together three consecutive strong games.

GREENE: “I think we’ve put together a few good games now, after giving up a bunch of goals there in Buffalo. There are going to be ups and downs over an entire season, and we definitely have to cut out those five-goal games every once in a while.”

Greene also talked about his shot-blocking ability, and was asked whether it was something he prided himself on…

GREENE: “Oh yeah. If you’re not scoring goals, you might as well be keeping them out of your net. It’s a good way to stick around, and I think it helps out a ton. There’s really nothing more frustrating, for myself when I’m at the point, when I get a shot blocked. I think it gives our goalie some help, as long as you’re getting out of the way of the ones he needs to see. It’s a good attitude.”
