The Los Angeles Kings will miss the playoffs for the second time in three seasons and will finish with their lowest point total in an 82-game schedule since getting 79 in 2008-09. The Kings and Blackhawks played in the Western Conference Final in 2013 and 2014, with each winning once on the way to the Stanley Cup. "You've got a lot of players, even though they might've been here a year or two, they haven't been prominent parts," coach Darryl Sutter said. "They have not gotten the experience in winning. They do not have the experience of playoffs. It's a big, big difference." Forward Jarome Iginla said they hope to play well in the final home game. "It's disappointing when you're eliminated," Iginla said. "That's a tough part of it, but at the same time, once you get in the game you want to win it. You get out there, you forget about all that other stuff, you just want to win the game and enjoy playing it and playing hard and playing it the right way. It's our last home game. We'd like to go out in front of our fans on a good note."
