Their lengthy winning streak ended on Monday when SoCal rival Anaheim beat the Kings, but by spinning out nine victories in a row before that, Los Angeles gained a lot of momentum going into the Olympic break.

We had an eight-day break before Christmas and that was difficult, because other teams continue to play and you’re trying to practice and stay sharp; that’s almost impossible to do. But this break will be a good time for our players not in the Olympics to get rejuvenated for the stretch run.”
