Los Angeles lost to the red-hot Florida Panthers 3-2 Saturday night with Peter Budaj making 22 saves in the losing effort. The Kings have a chance to rebound against Anaheim, which has lost five of its last seven games, including 4-1 to the Panthers on Friday when Florida scored three goals in less than six minutes. John Gibson allowed the three goals on 30 shots, and he now has lost four of his last six starts. The road team has won five of the last seven meetings, and the Kings are 5-2 their last seven road contests overall. Budaj has struggled some recently, but he still has a 26-18-3 record with a sparkling 2.17 goals-against average for the season since he took over for injured Jonathan Quick. Los Angeles won the last meeting 3-2 on Nov. 20. Play the Kings.
