=== Los Angeles Kings Team Report - December 21 === (My Sportsbook) - The Los Angeles Kings skated to a 3-3 tie with the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night at the Staples Center. It was the second-straight tie for the Kings, as they played to a 4-4 tie with the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday. Eric Belanger, Joe Corvo and Martin Straka each scored for the Kings, who remained unbeaten in their last six home games (4-0-2). Roman Cechmanek stopped just two of six shots in the first period before leaving the contest after aggravating a hip injury. Cristobal Huet came in to replace Cechmanek to start the second period and denied 12 of the 13 shots he faced.
