Klepis scores two in win over Coyotes




Associated Press
(Los Angeles, CA) - Returning to the lineup, Justin Williams sparked a fiew under the Kings with his early goal in the first period as Los Angeles took a comfortable win over their division rivals tonight defeating the Phoenix Coyotes, 4-1.

Jakub Klepis scored two goals for the Kings in a game that saw three players leave the game with injuries for the hockey club.

Anze Kopitar left the game early in the first period after hurting his wrist during a play and did not return to receive more attention.

Michal Handzus also left the game, injuring his arm as well on a mistimed check into the boards. He later returned in the second period and continued playing for the Kings.

Winger Mark Parrish was also on the injured list after receiving a few hits to the face during a fight which left him with a broken nose, but managed to return after getting some work done on it and playing a few more shifts in the third period.

But through all the sudden changes that had to be made for Los Angeles, they still pushed to victory, starting off with a three goal first period.

After scoring his 15th goal of the year and missing the last few games to an injury, Justin Williams got everything started which led to Jakub Klepis' first goal of the game at 13:04, and two minutes later with Alexander Frolov's fifth goal of the season at 15:36 to make it 3-0 in favor of the Kings.

Radim Vrbata broke the shutout for Phoenix with his goal at 19:53 for the 3-1 advantage still in favor of the Kings.

But 27 seconds into the third period, Jakub Klepis managed to get on the scoreboard again as he earned his second goal of the night for the 4-1 lead.

The Kings held the Coyotes back as they skated to an easy 4-1 win over their division rivals.

Defenseman Drew Doughty also earned player of the game honors as he earned three assists tongiht, making the scoring passes for both goals by Klepis and Frolov's goal.

The Kings will now await the status on the three players injured tonight, hopeful they will be allowed to lay against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night.

Hope Parish, Handzus and Kopitar are ok. Nice win.

Official: Kings Lose Trio To Injury In One Game


Los Angeles - It has been confirmed earlier that forwards Anze Kopitar, Michal Handzus, and Mark Parrish will not play for the Los Angeles Kings for the next few games as they try to recover from injuries sustained on Monday night in a 4-1 win over the Phoenix Coyotes.

Quote:

This is definitely a blow to our team right now, we didn't expect this big of a loss in one game.

- Head coach Terry Murray.

Kopitar has been ruled out for at least the next two games after suffering a high grade wrist sprain from a hit throwing him into the boards during the Kings win over Phoenix.

Quote:

All these players have had a huge impact on the team this season and losing them will really put us in a whirlwind and change our strategy for the next few games, but I know we can get through it and keep wining some games.

- Kings captain Dustin Brown.

Michal Handzus and Mark Parrish both look to have the worst injuries of all with Handzus fracturing his elbow and Parrish breaking his nose after being involved in a fight.

Both players did return during the game against the Coyotes but were later evaluated as Handzus began to have trouble stretching his right arm out and Parrish having trouble breathing.

The Kings have also announced Wayne Simmonds, Teddy Purcell, and Justin Azevedo have been called up from the Manchester Monarchs, their AHL affiliate.

Simmonds and Purcell have had time with the Kings previously, with Simmonds only playing three games and Purcell with 25, both players haven't registered a point.

Azevedo will play his first NHL game against Dallas on Wednesday night and has spent the 09/10 season with the Monarchs, playing 25 games and tallying five goals with seven assists for 12 points.

Head coach Terry Murray has also announced the vacant "A" left by the now injured Anze Kopitar will be given to winger Alexander Frolov, who will be looked to as a leader on the team with his newly given responsibility.

Nice franchise! The Kings are a real nice/young team to go with. I bet it's fun crushing the other team's players with Dustin Brown's 99 checking!

Turco Shuts Out Kings Again




(Los Angeles, CA) - For the second time this season, the Dallas Stars had the upper hand over the Los Angeles Kings as they thumped the first place team with a 5-0 victory.

Marty Turco earned his second shutout over the Kings tonight as he made 27 saves to shut out the league leaders.

"We just seemed to be out of our game and they took advantage of it and they did good by doing that" said Kings head coach Terry Murray.

Steve Ott also led the Stars with a goal and an assist.

But Mike Modano got the scoring started at 15:56 of the first period for the 1-0 lead.

Brendan Morrow would double that lead early in the second period with a powerplay goal, followed three minutes later by James Neal for the 3-0 lead.

Loui Eriksson added the fourth goal at 11:32 for the comfortable 4-0 advantage and the domination of the now out of place Kings.

Steve Ott added his goal late in the third period at 19:08 for the 5-0 score and held off a barrage of shots from Los Angeles to earn the win and the shutout over their division rivals.

Kings defenseman Matt Greene left the game during the second period after suffering an injury but managed to come back and play the rest of the game. He has also been cleared to continue playing for the Kings.

Greene's injury gave a scare to the Kings coaching staff, already having three top players on the injured list.

Anze Kopitar, Mark Parrish, and Michal Handzus still haven't been cleared to play and will more than likely miss the Kings next game tomorrow night against the Vancouver Canucks.

Goaltender Jonathan Quick has also been confirmed as a bench player tomorrow night, giving the starting spot to backup netminder Manny Fernandez.

Tough loss against the Stars, they beat you down.
