In Anaheim, the Ducks woes continued with another loss, this time, 2-1 to the Los Angeles Kings.
Jonathan Quick made 36 saves to get the win.
“Good team effort, great goaltending,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. “You need all of those things to win, especially on the road.”
Derek Grant was the lone Anaheim scorer, in the third period.
“We were playing with a little more desperation,” Grant said. “We got good control and some good looks, but their goalie played well and we couldn’t get it done tonight.”
Quick has given up two goals in his last two starts and made 65 saves.
“Even the goal we scored, he still got a piece of it,” Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said. “He was certainly on his game tonight.”
Matt Luff and Jeff Carter were the Kings’ strikers.
“We’ve got to come back with a bunch of wins because we want to climb out of this last spot in our conference,” the Kings’ Drew Doughty said. “We want to try and make a push to get up in the standings.”

John Gibson made 25 saves in the loss.
“I thought we were engaged the whole night,” Eakins said. “A good team effort but, again, we’ve got to find a way to not just get the puck to the goal line a couple times, but over it.”
