Getting out of Vancouver turned out to be a good thing for the Canucks after that 6-0 home drubbing administered by the Devils at Rogers Arena last week. Since then two wins on the spin on this road trip entering tonight. With Thatcher Demko still out in goal, Rick Tocchet seems to have finally realized that his best option in the nets is ex-Pred Kevin Lankinen, brought in during the offseason as insurance for Demko and now rightly getting more work as the number one that Arturs Silovs. After beating the Ducks on Tuesday in Anaheim, Lankinen is now 6-0-2 with a 2.09 GAA and .923 saves. Meanwhile the Kings are back home after spending much of the first month on the road, with only four games to date in LA. Normally, this is a tricky schedule spot, at home after a multi-city road trip two (or three) time zones away, and the Kings did fail to win for the first time at home in their most-recent game at Crytpto.com (vs. Chicago).
