I think Fiala is still out with a knee injury he suffered vs. Colorado a couple weeks back. He was leading the Kings in points.
Kings have good depth and Kempe followed up his breakout year with a better one. Doughty and Kopitar have both had decent Renaissance seasons too. They also didn't hesitate to bring up Copley who gave them something close to average goaltending to keep them afloat.
Things that went wrong for Calgary went right for L.A. this year. Hence one team is close to the top of the Conference and the others playoff hopes are on life support. Hopefully the Flames can find 4 points in the next two games...although it would be on script to have a OT loss show up.
