1st – 6-3 loss at TOR In a case of déjà vu, the Sen

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Los Angeles Kings spent much of the afternoon trapped in their own end while the Minnesota Wild pelted them with 41 shots.Thanks to Jonathan Quick and two more timely contributions from That 70s Line, the Kings are still perfect on their homestand.Quick made 40 saves and Tyler Toffoli had a goal and an assist in the Kings fourth straight victory, 2-1 over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday.Toffoli scored an early power-play goal and Tanner Pearson added a third-period goal for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who are dominating their six-game homestand despite long stretches of indifferent offensive play.I dont think weve had our game for the last little while, centre Jarret Stoll said. Were winning on penalty-killing and goaltending.Thats enough when the champions can get incredibly consistent production from That 70s Line — the jersey-number-inspired nickname for Jeff Carters combo with youngsters Toffoli and Pearson. The trio has scored 11 of Los Angeles 14 goals this season.The NHLs best defensive team last season is back in top form again. Cookes goal was just the third by Los Angeles opponents in 245 minutes during the homestand, and Quick was stellar in the Kings crease after tying Rogie Vachons franchise record with his 32nd career shutout Thursday.Sometimes on a longer homestand, it gets to be the same thing every day, so we knew we had to get up for these guys, Quick said. Its good to get that level of competition on a homestand.Niklas Backstrom stopped 14 shots and Matt Cooke scored with 13:13 to play for the Wild, who lost back-to-back games in Southern California despite largely impressive performances.I feel like we controlled a lot of the play, but Quick played a fantastic game, Minnesota forward Zach Parise said about his U.S. Olympic teammate. I guess everyone has kind of grown accustomed to seeing a game like that out of him. I like how were playing. Our system is working really well, so well be fine. We just played two very good teams, and we played very well as a whole in both of the games. We just couldnt find a goal.Los Angeles held the Wild scoreless on five power plays, extending Minnesotas season-opening drought to 0 for 16. The Wild repeatedly cycled the puck in the Kings end, but Quick was on top of almost everything that came his direction.Theres not much that we can change besides scoring goals, Minnesota forward Thomas Vanek said. Its not like were trying to be too pretty. We were shooting a lot. We were tipping. We were going for loose rebounds. But Quick was on his game, which we all knew. Hes a world-class goalie, and he showed that today.Backstrom was solid in his first start of the season for Minnesota. He hadnt played since Jan. 30 after undergoing surgery on his abdomen and hip last season.Toffoli jumped on a loose puck to score the Kings second power-play goal in 19 tries this season — and Minnesotas first power-play goal allowed — after Mike Richards pass deflected off Ryan Suters skate in the crease.Minnesota dominated long stretches of the first two periods, and rookie Christian Folin sparked the Wild when he sent Anze Kopitar into the boards with a ferocious check, prompting Richards to instigate a fight.Pearsons linemates set up his team-leading fifth goal early in the third period, with Toffoli feeding him in the slot for a one-timer.Cooke finally scored on a backhand when he was left unguarded in front of Quick, whose shutout streak ended at more than 111 minutes.Former Minnesota forward Marian Gaborik missed his third straight game for the Kings, and defenceman Jake Muzzin still hasnt played this season. Both Stanley Cup winners are out with injuries.NOTES: Minnesota scratched rookie D Matt Dumba, the last player to touch the puck on the turnover that led to Corey Perrys winning goal for Anaheim on Friday night. D Keith Ballard also was a healthy scratch. ... Both teams have the next three days off. Los Angeles hosts Buffalo on Thursday, and Minnesota returns home to face Arizona. ... Minnesotas Jason Zucker barely avoided serious injury when Kyle Cliffords skate blade nearly grazed his throat after Zucker tripped Clifford in the second period.

The loss was painful on so many levels and seemed to put a definitive nail in the coffin when it came to the Senators playoff chances. And while its easy to point to that loss as the one that killed the teams post-season hopes, it was merely the final straw in a season-long string of disappointments. That collapse against Montreal was spectacular and historic (for the wrong reasons), but it wasnt an anomaly when it comes to the 2013-14 Ottawa Senators. On too many occasions this season, this team squandered opportunities to get two points – either settling for one or being blanked altogether. Here is a look at the 10 games that will likely cost the Senators a playoff spot this season: 1) October 5th – 5-4 shootout loss at TOR Just 24 hours after shutting out the Buffalo Sabres in the season opener, the Senators jumped out to a 4-2 lead against the Maple Leafs midway through the second period. But with time running out in that frame, Joffrey Lupul scored a goal to pull the Leafs to within one goal heading into the third period. And in what would become an eerie preview of what to expect defensively throughout the season, the Senators would allow the Leafs to tie the game – and then win it in a shootout. 2) November 1st – 5-4 shootout loss vs NYI The Senators managed to blow a two-goal lead twice in this game, squandering 2-0 and 4-2 advantages. And knowing what we know about the 2013-14 New York Islanders now, this loss looks even more ridiculous in hindsight. Adding to the lunacy of this night was the fact the Senators surrendered 57 shots on goal to New York. Thats not a typo. 3) December 10th – 2-1 shootout loss at BUF Granted, the Senators played the night before and beat the Philadelphia Flyers in a spirited shootout on home ice. But the Sens looked pretty average against the NHLs worst team the very next night and managed to score only a single goal. The offensive malaise even extended into the shootout, which required 10 rounds before the Sabres eventually won it. 4) December 19th – 4-2 loss vs FLA This was another costly loss to an Eastern Conference lightweight – only it was more damaging because it occurred in regulation time. The Senators led this game 2-1 after the first period and should have been sparked by a brilliant highlight reel goal from Jason Spezza. Instead, the Panthers scored twice in the final 2:32 of the game to stun the Sens with a 4-2 victory. Ottawa was on the power play with a chance to tie the game in the final 90 seconds, but allowed a 2-on-1 the other way and Tomas Kopecky buried them with a shorthanded goal. 55) December 21st – 4-3 overtime loss vs PHX Former Senator Antoine Vermette killed the Senators in this matinee game, as he scored a hat trick – which was capped off with the overtime winner.dddddddddddd The Senators actually held a 2-0 lead in this game and also had a 3-2 advantage with under three minutes to play in the third period. This game may have been the best microcosm for the Sens penchant for sloppiness in afternoon games. 6) January 8th – 4-3 overtime loss at COL Once again, the Senators were less than three minutes away from a regulation time victory, only to have disaster strike. Paul Stastny scored the tying goal with just over two minutes left and then Tyson Barrie scored the overtime winner 33 seconds into the extra frame. The Sens allowed two goals in the span of about three minutes with the game on the line. Instead of skating out of Denver with two points, they had to settle for just one. 7) January 16th – 5-4 overtime loss vs MTL You can actually make a sound argument that the Senators were fortunate to take one point out of this game, considering the Habs jumped out to an early 3-0 lead. But Ottawa fought back with four straight goals and appeared to be in complete command of this game – until Jared Cowen accidentally put the puck into his own net after Craig Anderson stopped Tomas Plekanec on a breakaway. PK Subban then scored just 23 seconds into overtime, with a celebration that seemed to irk the Sens. Sadly, this was not the most painful 5-4 overtime loss they would endure against the Habs this season. 8) February 1st – 6-3 loss at TOR In a case of déjà vu, the Senators once again found themselves with a two-goal lead at the Air Canada Centre – only to watch it evaporate quickly. The Senators had a 2-0 lead, but Toronto tied the game in the second period, thanks in large part to a controversial play. Nazem Kadri drilled Sens defenseman Cody Ceci behind the net with a hit that many felt was illegal, but play went right on and Kadri took the puck and set up Joffrey Lupul for the tying goal. The Sens never seemed to recover from that turn of events and the Leafs scored four times in the third period to beat Ottawa. 9) March 4th – 3-2 loss at EDM Like every other game on this list, the Senators held the lead – jumping out 1-0 early thanks to a Jason Spezza goal. Fresh off a win at the Heritage Classic in Vancouver two days earlier, the Senators should have had some momentum for this game against the lowly Oilers. Instead – in what turned out to be a damn good audition before the trade deadline – Ales Hemsky scored twice to pace the Oilers to a 3-2 victory. 10) March 15th – 5-4 overtime loss at MTL Its still a little too soon to talk about this game.
