A key win on the road starts of a big road trip in the East this upcoming week for the LA Kings in overtime, by a score of 5-4 on the scoreboard, vs. the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena in Ohio.
Avoiding a near-disaster in the final frame in the third period today against the Columbus Blue Jackets (32-21-10) on the road in overtime in the extra frame this afternoon, the Los Angeles Kings (26-23-14) new interim head coach DJ Smith helped his team get on the right side of the win column in the standings early this week on Monday.
