A loss that stung for the Los Angeles Kings (27-24-15) this past weekend in the tri-state area in New Jersey vs. the Devils on the road on Saturday came while center captain Anze Kopitar made history for the franchise. A combination of untimely mistakes and bad bounces in the final frame in the third period cost the Kings and new interim head coach DJ Smith on the road this past weekend vs. New Jersey on the night that Kopitar set the franchise record for all-time career points.
Smith and the Kings must now turn their attention to the last game on this road trip in the Eastern Conference early this week on the road vs. the New York Rangers (28-30-8) on Monday evening (March 16) at Madison Square Garden in NYC. A big storyline for this game early this week on Monday between the Kings and the Rangers is Artemi Panarin's return to MSG for the first time since he was traded to LA from New York this past month and before the trade deadline this regular season.
A good start in the West in the Pacific Division for Kopitar with the Kings will parlay an emotional return to MSG early this week.
Here's a look at the TV/streaming information, start time, and radio broadcast information for the matchup between the Kings and Rangers in the finale of a long five-game road trip in the Eastern Conference early this week at Madison Square Garden in New York City, NY, on March 16.
