Ducks leading scorer Leo Carlsson is set to miss the next three to five weeks, which could endanger his participation in the Winter Olympics for Sweden.

The Sharks score late in the third period to tie it, then score again in overtime to defeat the Kings.

Ducks fans have long suffered as the team struggled to string together wins. Despite a recent skid, the Ducks' 21 wins are still most in their division.

After losing six of their last seven, the Kings got a much-needed boost with a 6-1 win over the rival Ducks that was spearheaded by Alex Laferriere's three goals.

Under contract with the Kings for the next eight seasons, Adrian Kempe has proven his loyalty to the team. Can he lead them to a Stanley Cup championship?

After losing for the sixth time in seven games, the scoring-starved Kings head into the Christmas break searching for answers following a 3-2 loss to Seattle.
