Here’s Kings coach Darryl Sutter putting his unique spin on things when asked about Tyler Toffoli’s first NHL goal in only his second game since his recall from Manchester (N.H.) of the American Hockey League: “I’m sure it is (a good feeling) for him.

Darryl Sutter talks about what got the Kings going Monday night
Kings coach Darryl Sutter is a difficult man to please. He wasn’t about to say their 5-2 victory Monday over the Ducks was their best-played game of the season. Here’s what he did say, however: “We struggled for the first half of the game. I think Jordan Nolan’s fight (with the Ducks’ Sheldon Souray) gave us a little energy, and (Slava) Voynov’s goal in the third was huge. Not tonight, it wasn’t (the Kings’ best game of the season). We played good in Edmonton and Calgary, too.”
