Postgame notes (2/10)

— The Kings, at 24-21-7, are three games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2005-06 season. (I know there’s some debate on this, but “.500” is defined, in a hockey sense, by a point-per-game average)

— The Kings finished their road trip with a 4-1 record and outscored their opponents by a combined margin of 16-12.

— The Kings are 6-1 in their last seven road games.
