Up next for the Kings: Saturday vs. Colorado

Kings tonight VS. COLORADO When: 7:30. Where: Staples Center. On the air: TV: FS West; Radio: 1150. Records: Kings 36-20-4, Avalanche 35-19-6. Record vs. Avalanche (2008-09): 1-2-1. Update: The Kings’ final game before the Olympic break carries major playoff implications because Colorado is tied with Los Angeles in the Western Conference with 76 points. Saturday’s game is the first meeting of the season between the Kings and Avalanche, and they’ll play each other three more times before the season ends. Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick will be back after missing Thursday’s loss because of flu symptoms. -- Kevin Baxter
