Playing their first game since Saturday, the Kings’ struggling power play saps any offensive momentum they generate and they lose for the third time in four games, 1-0.

The Kings will have enjoyed three days between games by the time the puck is dropped on Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena.

When the Los Angeles Kings came to Buffalo back on Oct. 10, they “goalied” the Sabres with an average goaltender. Darcy Kuemper stood on his head, stopping 32 pucks in a 3-1 win in Buffalo’s home opener.
