Jan 31st, The Kings overcome the Devils and their feared goaltender Martin Brodeur

Game 53, Los Angeles Kings Vs. New Jersey Devils

The Kings currently on a five game winning streak attempted to extend their current six game winning streak against the feared, New Jersey Devils. Early in the 1^st Johnny Oduya shot down the Kings chemistry, as well as getting the Devils an early one goal lead. The Kings played hard in the first but couldn’t score on Brodeur. Travis Zajac put the Devils up by two early in the 2^nd, a mirrored image of the first goal, 2-0 Devils. The Kings chances of beating the Devils were looking slim, but with a big effort anything is possible. Late in the 2^nd period Michael Handzus finally snuck one past Martin Brodeur, pulling the Kings back into a one goal game. At the 18:14 mark of the 3^rd, Wayne Simmonds, scored from a sharp angle, to tie the game at 2. With 28 seconds remaining Drew Doughty scored with a wicked point shot to cap off this improbable comeback to extend their winning streak to six. The Kings return home to Staples Center to face the New York Rangers in their next game.
