Facts on the Fly: 2/10/2013 Los Angeles Kings @ Detroit Red Wings
(Brought to you by Rawley19)

Season series: The teams are meeting for the first of three times this season. Detroit won three of four in 2011-12, including both games at Joe Louis Arena.

Big story: The Kings' quest for a second straight Stanley Cup isn't off to a good start - they've won only three of their first nine games and are coming off a 3-0 loss at Nashville on Thursday. The Red Wings are finding ways to keep their heads above water - they edged Edmonton 2-1 on Saturday.

Team Scope:

Kings: After a frustrating night in Nashville on Thursday - the Kings outshot the Predators 32-14 but trailed three minutes into the game and couldn't play catch-up - the Kings are likely to have some new line combinations on Sunday. One big change could be the reuniting of veteran center Mike Richards with young wings Jordan Nolan and Dwight King. That threesome worked well together last spring.

The Kings have to find goals somewhere - they're averaging just 2.1 per game and have had two goals or fewer in six of their nine games.

"We need our top guys to be a hell of a lot better players," coach Darryl Sutter said. "That's clear."

Red Wings: Things are looking better in Detroit, where the Red Wings have won three in a row after topping the Oilers on Saturday. Niklas Kronwall's third-period power-play goal broke a 1-1 tie and Jimmy Howard stopped 23 shots as the Wings found a way to win despite a sensational effort by Edmonton goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin.

Pavel Datsyuk scored Detroit's first goal and set up Kronwall's game-winner. The Red Wings are 4-0-0 this season when Datsyuk lights the lamp.

"He's got the whole package," Kronwall said. "It doesn't matter what position you put him in, he's going to be your best player."

Injury report: The Kings are without two key defensemen, Willie Mitchell (knee) and Matt Greene (back surgery). Both may miss the rest of the season. … The Wings are a walking M*A*S*H unit - Todd Bertuzzi (back) sat out Saturday, joining defensemen Brendan Smith (back) and Carlo Colaiacovo (shoulder), center Darren Helm (back) and forwards Jan Mursak (collarbone) and Mikael Samuelsson (groin).

Who's hot: No one on the Kings' roster has more than five points in L.A.'s first nine games. … Henrik Zetterberg has four points (all assists) in Detroit's last three games. Kronwall's goal was his first of the season, but he's among the leading scorers among defensemen because he has eight assists.

For more quotes, please go to Jon Rosen's blog at LA Kings Insider.

Dustin Brown (game recap): "They are a hard-working team. We didn't match their compete in the first and that was all the difference in the game."

Darryl Sutter (game recap): "You've got to work to the inside against them to get anything offensively, on the left side of their ice. Shea (Weber) plays so much that he's always getting on the ice against (Anze) Kopitar every time, right? That's what he did tonight."

Justin Williams (game recap): “They’re a tough team to chase when you’re behind. They box you out pretty well. Their goaltender’s obviously one of the best. Sometimes you can say you didn’t get the breaks, but I don’t think that was the case tonight. We just didn’t deserve it.”

Keaton Ellerby on how he heard about the trade: “I was in bed and Dale Tallon called me. He just said that I had been traded to the Kings. A lot of things rushed through my head in a split second, but now that I’m here, I’m super excited, and I’m just ready to get things going and start a new chapter in my career. I couldn’t have come to a better organization – winning the Cup last year and planning on repeating this year. Yeah, I’m ecstatic right now.”

Keaton Ellerby on how he sees himself fitting in with Doughty: “I think we complement each other well. Obviously, he’s a very offensive guy. He’s always up in the play. I’m going to be back there – big body, banging guys around and being the physical presence, hopefully, in our pairing. Hopefully we complement each other well and can be a solid pairing for a long time.”

Darryl Sutter on bringing back the King-Richards-Nolan line: “Quite honest, it changes quite a bit. I’m not really isolated on Mike Richards and Dwight King and Jordan Nolan. I think our top players – the guys that get all the credit for what they’ve done, but we’re nine games in, and to me that’s more significant than anything that happened last year. There’s some self-evaluation to be done. It’s not necessarily to do with King and Nolan.”

Thanks Big John Melf!

Thanks!

Yeah baby! No town,......I mean Motown.

Not too sure about these new lines but in Sutter we trust.
Please pick up 2 points. I am sick of suck!!!

Go Kings Go!!!

Hey, I remain optimistic. Then again, I can also be delusional. mhihi: see_stars:

ummm. Let's Go Kings?

Those lines are tad different. Thank you TC!!!

I don't have alot of faith left in the Kings at the start of this season anymore, but i'll go ahead and predict a 6-0 King's victory.

With Detroit playing less than 24 hours before, we should have legs up on them. That said, Detroit 3-1. :(

These lines are horrible they won't last midway after the first period . Hate the wings with a passion plz kings destroy them.
