| (Best E Casino) - The Anaheim Ducks will begin their longest road trip of the season in their final game before the All-Star break tonight, as they take on the Los Angeles Kings at the Staples Center.

The setback kept Anaheim one point back in the standings of Dallas, which was idle yesterday. Chris Pronger had the lone tally and Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 31-of-33 shots for the |

The worst team in the NHL was no match for the league's best team - and goalie. Chris Osgood pared down his league-best goals-against average to 1.87 by shutting out the Los Angeles Kings, leading Detroit to a 3-0 win Tuesday night. The Red Wings have a 36-10-4 record for 76 points. That's nearly double the 40 points of the Kings, who have won only one of the past 18 meetings with Detroit. ``They are the best team in the league for a reason,'' Kings goalie Jason LaBarbera said. ``They probably didn't ha |
