Let’s take a walk back in time. The Kings have allowed more than 10 goals in 2 consecutive playoff games 21 times (note: I did not count any one game in more than one pair — for example, if they allowed 5, 8, 3 in three consecutive games, I did not count it as a 13 and an 11, just as 13):
- 2011 — 12
- 2010 — 13
- 2000 — 10
- 1998 — 10
- 1993 — 14, 11, 11
- 1990 — 13, 11, 11
- 1989 — 13
- 1988 — 15, 13
- 1987 — 19, 11
- 1982 — 11, 10
- 1981 — 16
- 1977 — 14, 11
- 1968 — 13
As an aside, the cup-run season, 1992-93, was especially bad if you look at the regular season. That team had, in the regular season, GA 10+ games of 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 13, 12, 12, 12, 12, 11, 11, 10, including one string of 29 goals-against in 4 games. Then, in the playoffs, 14, 11, 11.
