The Kings are on the back end of a back-to-back after a 5-4 overtime win in Boston Saturday. The 5 goals were the most they’ve scored in 11 games. The winner came from D Brandt Clarke, who made his 1st NHL goal a memorable one. C Anze Kopitar tied the game with a power-play goal with just 1:35 left to go in the 3rd.
The Pens snapped a 3-game losing streak with a 4-1 collection of 2 points Thursday at the Chicago Blackhawks. C Sidney Crosby scored his 29th and 30th goals to lead the charge. This game will be a special one as the Penguins lift RW Jaromir Jagr’s No. 68 into the rafters. Crosby and Co. sit 7 points out of a Wild Card spot, and if they’re going to make a push — the time is now.
