The Los Angeles Kings are fifth in the Pacific Division and 11 points behind the St. Louis Blues for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference with seven games remaining. "Seven times two is 14 (points), so we're going to fight," forward Jeff Carter said following a 2-1 loss at the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. "We have to keep fighting. We'll keep fighting until the end." Los Angeles also trails the Nashville Predators by 12 points and has played one fewer game. "Not the situation we wanted to be in, that's for sure," Carter said. "At this time of year you want to be locking up playoff spots and getting ready for a big push. A little different but we'll play right to the end." The Kings have lost four of their past five games (1-4-0), including a 5-2 loss at the Calgary Flames on March 19. "We don't want to be in this position," defenseman Drew Doughty said. "You can point your fingers at a bunch of games throughout the season that put us in this predicament. It [stinks], but we're still playing for this organization and for each other, and we have to play as hard as we possibly can and do whatever it takes to win games even though we might be out of the race." Goalie Jonathan Quick, who made 27 saves Tuesday, could start again. He is 4-4-0 with 16 goals against and one shutout in his past nine games.
