Up next for Kings: Saturday vs. Detroit

By Helene Elliott

Kings tonight

vs. Detroit

When: 7:30.

Where: Staples Center.

On the air: TV: FS West; Radio: 1150.

Records: Kings 14-10-0, Red Wings 17-4-2

Record vs. Red Wings (2009-10): 2-2-0.

Update: Jonathan Quick is scheduled to start in goal for the Kings, who ended a four-game losing streak Thursday with a 3-2 victory over Florida. The Kings are 9-2 at home and have not allowed an opponent to score a power-play goal in 41 home chances this season. The last team that didn’t allow a power-play goal in 11 consecutive home games was Buffalo, which did that last season. As expected, rookie center Brayden Schenn was returned to his junior team, Brandon of the Western Hockey League. He had two assists and a minus-one defensive rating in eight games with the Kings. This is the finale of a three-game California trip for the Red Wings, who will be without veteran center Mike Modano for several months while he recovers from wrist surgery.
