SoCal NHL Preview

Anaheim (8-8-3) at Los Angeles (8-8-1), 7:30 pm, FSN
LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - The Los Angeles Kings look to rebound from Tuesday's loss when they host the Anaheim Ducks in the back end of a home-and-home series. The Ducks defeated the Kings, 5-4, in an overtime shootout Tuesday night. Andy McDonald scored the deciding in the shootout. The game also featured some rough stuff when Ducks defenseman Chris Pronger got involved with Kings center Michael Handzus at the end of overtime. Handzus shot the puck on goal after time had expired in the overtime period, a no-no for most hockey traditionalists. Pronger and Handzus were assessed five-minute fighting majors and 10-minute misconducts. Los Angeles has been led by the play of left winger Michael Cammarelli, who is tied for fourth in the NHL with 12 goals. Anaheim has been led by the play of center Ryan Getzlaf, who has six goals and 18 points in 17 games. This will be the fourth meeting between the clubs this season, with the Ducks winning two of the three.
