Does anything about this feel a little familiar to you? Sliding out of a wild card spot, looking up at the Calgary Flames in the standings, wondering just how the heck we all got to where we are?
Yeah. I know. 2015 called, it wants its plotline back.
Here we are, meeting up with the Flames for just the second time this season. The Kings are five points back from the Flames in the first wild-card spot, and two points back from the Blues in the second. If they want to make any meaningful progress towards getting back into a wild card position, it starts tonight with what is essentially a four-point game.
