The Kings are moving in the right direction now. Home schedule coming up - no time to let up.
With the home games coming up a win streak here will have them advancing up the standings and well into the top 8 fairly quickly.
With the shortened season, the run to the end here is going to be like the stretch run last year where that end of the season final (or next to last game, can't remember now) loss to San Jose dropped the Kings from number 3 spot to number 8 (didn't work out that poorly, did it?) on the basis of that one loss.
the roller coaster effect on the standings will be in effect for a while this year.
We've already seen where a slow start has put the Kings -- they're just now digging out.
