The LA Kings suffered a mark in the loss column in the standings for the first time in the East in this six-game road trip this week vs. Washington.
The Washington Capitals (9-8-2) and Alex Ovechkin took advantage of some early defensive coverage lapses from the Los Angeles Kings (10-6-4) as head coach Jim Hiller's team suffered the first loss of this road trip early this week on Monday evening (Nov. 17). Hiller and the Kings struggled to get much of anything going offensively until they were down by multiple goals on the scoreboard.
