From Marc Crawford:
On the rivalry and importance of games against the Ducks: "The game is obviously very meaningful to Anaheim because they are trying to secure home ice advantage and even make a push to catch San Jose. We can be a part of that process and we have to continue to play well."
On the Kings' improved play of late: "We've been playing with a little bit of confidence after the two wins in a row on the road, and hopefully we can keep that going tonight. At this time of the year I think it is a great measuring stick for us to play against the teams that are playoff-bound and are playing with their playoff demeanor."
