334 CAPITALS 1 KINGS 2
Two days after shutting out the St. Louis Blues 2-0, Dan Cloutier comes up with another big win for the LA Kings, this time against the Washington Capitals.
The game was tightly contested regardless of the several Capital powerplays. In the second period pressbox fodder Mark Mowers scored his first of the season as the injured Jeff Halpern watched from the sidelines. In the same period, Cloutier allowed his only goal in two games when Marian Gaborik found the twine.
Darcy Tucker's goal in the third period was the difference in the game. It featured Karlis Skrastins's 2nd assist of the game.
Dan Cloutier has crawled back to respectability in the CPHL and the Kings are only one point out of a playoff spot now.
The Monarchs were victorious versus the Portland Pirates in the AHL.
