Los Angeles Kings Notes:

The Kings have been up and down. LA beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 in their season-opening game, with captain Anzer Kopitar scoring all three goals. The Kings went on to lose back-to-back games in overtime, first 2-1 to the Boston Bruins, and then a wild 8-7 Monday afternoon loss to the Ottawa Senators. Los Angeles is playing the second of back-to-back games, having played in Toronto last night, where they found themselves on the wrong end of a 6-2 score.

Montreal Canadiens Notes:

The Canadiens came up short on Monday, getting doubled up by the Pittsburgh Penguins by a score of 6-3. Led by two goals by former Hab Lars Eller, and a three-point effort by Evgeni Malkin, it was the Canadiens’ first loss at the Bell Centre this year.
