The New York Islanders host the Los Angeles Kings tonight — around these here parts that means it’s time to remind ourselves that Matt Moulson is Jonathan Quick’s brother-in-law.
I know, right? You’d never expect that, certainly they didn’t mention it 10 times per broadcast back in the day.
The Kings (21-16-6, 3rd in Pacific) are supposed to be rebuilding — or “retooling” as they optimistically describe it these days — around their aging star core. But somewhere along the way they got off to a good start, so they’re part of a pretty entertaining wild card chase out west that realistically includes the Kings, Ducks, Oilers, Stars, Sharks and Jets.
