- It looks like Matt Greene has a concussion after being punched by Kevin Bieksa while Bieksa was lying on his back. That and other dumb moments from last night were chronicled by Sean Gentille.
- For the Canucks perspective from last night, here’s a rundown from our blogging buddies over at Canucks Army.

- Next up for the Kings is a game in St. Louis on Thursday Night. The Blues had a great first half of the season and are starting the first game of a home-stand tonight against the Coyotes. [St. Louis Game Time]
