(SportsNetwork. Cheap Authentic Jerseys 2020 .com) - The Los Angeles Kings are hoping to go on a roll. A recent comeback victory and a lengthy homestand could help the defending Stanley Cup champions turn around what has thus far been an inconsistent season. But first the Kings will have to contend with the Nashville Predators when they kick off a seven-game stay at the Staples Center on Saturday afternoon. Los Angeles won its second Cup in three years last spring, but the club has been up-and-down so far in 2014-15. The Kings are 19-12-8 on the season and they are only doing that well thanks to a 14-4-2 record on home ice. All told, L.A. will play eight of its 11 games in January at home. Darryl Sutters squad was able to halt a five-game road losing streak the last time out, but needed to mount a late comeback in Vancouver to do so. The Kings posted a 3-2 win over the Canucks on Thursday by notching a pair of goals in the final 2:07 of regulation. Justin Williams tied the score at 2-2 with a power-play tally at the 17:53 mark of the third and Jarret Stoll provided the game-winner just 53 seconds later. Stoll scored with 1:14 remaining, beating Ryan Miller with a slap shot from the left circle. We battled, I thought we deserved this game, I thought we deserved to win it, Stoll said. Jonathan Quick faced just 16 shots in net for the Kings, who won for only the fourth time in their last 10 (4-3-3). Quick will likely get the start today although he is just 2-6-2 with a 2.76 goals against average in his career against Nashville. The Predators enter todays showdown as one of the top teams in the Western Conference, sitting second place in the Central Division with 51 points. That puts them one point behind Chicago for first place in the division. Nashville also is five points ahead of the reigning Cup champions despite the fact that L.A. has played three more games than the Preds. Nashville boasts a 5-1-1 record over its last six games and is coming off Tuesdays 3-2 win over the visiting St. Louis Blues. Shea Weber scored twice, including the deciding goal midway through the third period, as Peter Laviolettes club skated away with the close regulation win over a division rival. Gabriel Bourque added a goal and one assist for the Predators, who retained their perfect record (12-0-0) following a loss. The guys dont get riled too much, Weber said. We came back right away. Pekka Rinne came up with 26 stops for the hosts. With Nashville also playing tomorrow night in Anaheim, Rinne could get a rare break from backup Carter Hutton this weekend. Rinne is 8-6-1 with a 2.72 GAA in 15 career games against L.A. and 10-3-4 with a 2.17 GAA in 17 tilts versus the Ducks. Nashville recorded a 4-3 shootout win at home against the Kings on Nov. 25, giving the Preds wins in three straight and five of the last seven meetings in this series. L.A. has lost two of its last three at home against the Predators. The Preds are 10-7-2 as the away team this season. Wholesale China Jerseys Free Shipping .

Drummond had 30 points and a Rising Stars Challenge-record 25 rebounds, leading Team Hill to a 142-136 victory over Team Webber on Friday night. Coach Nate McMillan said general manager Grant Hill talked to his team before the game about performing like Denvers Kenneth Faried, who had 40 points and 10 rebounds while winning MVP honours last year. The message got through to Drummond, who grabbed 14 offensive rebounds. "Drummond had in his mind that he was going to go out and play the game hard," said McMillan, an assistant to Indiana coach Frank Vogel. "Every rebound that came off the board, he wanted. A few of them he took from his teammates, but I liked his aggressiveness." Besides an impressive tally of dunks and rebounds, Drummond even managed to make his free throws. A 41 per cent shooter during the regular season, the Detroit forward went 6 for 8, including a pair with 29 seconds left after chasing down Bradley Beals missed free throw to give his team a five-point lead. He eventually got to hoist the MVP trophy, though not before it fell to the court when a representative from game sponsor BBVA tried to hand it to him. It comes in two pieces, a star on top of the base, and the presenter was apparently unaware when he grabbed it by the top. "It happened last year, too, so I wasnt expecting anything less," Drummond said. "Usually a slip-up happens every year with the trophy. So I wasnt too shocked about that." Clevelands Dion Waiters had 31 points, mostly coming during a 1-on-1 duel with New Yorks Tim Hardaway Jr. in the second half. Beal finished with 21 for Team Hill, picked by former NBA star Hill. Hardaway scored 36 points and made seven 3-pointers for fellow former Michigan star Chris Webbers squad. Philadelphia rookie Michael Carter-Williamms had 17 points, nine assists and six rebounds.

All-Stars such as Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard and Kyrie Irving watched the game, with Irving leaping to his feet at one point after watching Waiters, his Cavaliers teammate, try to take over the game with about 8 minutes to play. Waiters had two baskets and then two 3-pointers, one of them when he stepped back after faking a move to the basket that made Hardaway lose his balance. Hardaway answered back with two 3-pointers of his own as the crowd roared. "We were just trying to do a great job of just getting the fans involved," Hardaway said. "It was kind of dead in there and we just wanted to just start something, a little 1-on-1 battle here and there, and it was great." Waiters then clinched the duel when he knocked the ball free for a rare defensive highlight in the game, nailing his second straight 3-pointer to give team Hill the lead for good at 126-124 with 2:44 left. Drummond followed with a dunk for a four-point advantage, and Team Webber could never catch up.

Thats probably a good thing, since this years crop of kids is so underwhelming.
