NOTEBOOK
Kings:
The Pacific Division leaders are on a five-game winning streak after beating Philadelphia 2-1 at home Saturday afternoon. Los Angeles swept a divisional road trip last week at Arizona, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. … Center Jeff Carter has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury. He is questionable for Monday’s game. … Forward Dwight King has three points (two goals) in two games since returning from a broken foot.
