Ovi, Gretzky, Points Totals, and Greatness
If only Alexander Ovechkin had scored five goals against Anaheim on Tuesday night, fans of the LA Kings could have been treated to a four-goal performance that tied and broke the all-time regular season goals record.
Rookie Sensation Emerges In Anaheim

Kuzmenko Joins the Kings
Coach Jim Hiller wasted no time in declaring his intentions for new acquisition Andrei Kuzmenko, added just before the bell sounded to indicate that all horse trading must cease in the run up to the end of the season and playoffs.

In most modern-day cases, players move into coaching, scouting or broadcasting. But back in the days of the Original Six, those opportunities were few and far between.
