For only the fourth time this year, the Capitals lost at home to the Kings, 5-4. This puts the Kings 3 points out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. This is the first time in 3 years that the Kings at 21-20-7 have a winning record in February. Wow!
To make my day complete, the Ducks lost, still have 55 points, are only 8 points ahead of the Kings and the Kings have 5 games in hand.
