Not impressed by an Anaheim team with four players headed to Sunday's All-Star game, the Kings easily handled the Ducks, 3-1, to continue their improved play in front of 18,118 at Staples Center.
The Kings (20-29-2) might be playing out the string as they are entrenched in last place in the West, but they've won five of seven while sending the defending Stanley Cup champions reeling into the break with a three-game losing streak.
Anze Kopitar, Derek Armstrong and Alexander Frolov each had goals to support Jason LaBarbera, who stopped 31 shots and made only one mistake as he let Rob Niedermayer's seemingly benign third-period shot get between his pads.
