King update--Goaltender Byron Dafoe started his first game since Feb. 1, and defenseman Jan Vopat’s goal midway in the third period gave the Kings a 4-4 tie with Toronto on Thursday at the Forum. The Kings are winless in their last four games and have won only twice since the All-Star break.

Edmonton lost at Calgary, 3-2, in overtime Thursday, but the Oilers’ 61 points are good for fourth in the Western Conference. Ryan Smyth has a team-high 27 goals, followed by Andrei Kovalenko’s 26. The Oilers are 11-13-3 on the road.
