Wilson Wary of a King Counterpunch
Duck-King games are always important to the fans, but this one is especially important for the teams, with neither in a strong position to make the playoffs with less than two months left in the season.
“We’ve got to be ready because the [Kings] got embarrassed against Phoenix,” Duck Coach Ron Wilson said the day after the Kings’ 6-1 loss. “We can’t assume the Kings that showed up against Phoenix are going to show up against us. They could view this as their last chance, their last punch at the bag because they could be potentially eight points out of 10th, and 12 points out of a playoff spot.”

Teemu Selanne practiced Wednesday after missing Tuesday’s workout because of stomach flu but said he felt confident he’ll be able to play against the Kings tonight.
