300 BRUINS 4 KINGS 2
KINGS GET BITTEN BY BRUINS
With Dan Cloutier on the bench again suffering from fatigue, the Los Angeles Kings saw their three game win streak snapped by Brian Holzinger's Bruins on Sunday.
Mika Noronen faced Tommy Salo in the battle of the backups and the game was closely contested until Noronen folded like a cheap tent in the dying minutes of the game. But perhaps the true blame for the loss should squarely rest with LA's penalty killing units, who surrendered three of the four Bruin goals.
Bret Hedican and Mike Peca scored the goals for LA. Mike Leclerc and Darcy Tucker saw their point streaks snapped.
Jeff Halpern received a shoulder injury in the game and is listed as day-to-day. Scott Gomez played on the fourth line recovering from injury but will be healthy enough to be bumped up for next game.
Providence destroyed Manchester in AHL action.
