NOTEWORTHY:
Luc Robitaille leads the NHL in goals with seven. He, along with linemates Jozef Stumpel and Ziggy Palffy have been on the ice for 13 of the 14 goals the Kings have scored ... Captain Rob Blake leads Kings with 20 shots on goal, Valeri Bure tops the Flames in the same department with an identical number ... L.A. powerplay second in league at 31.8%, on seven goals in 22 chances. Calgary ranks third, at 31.6% ... Stephane Fiset ranks fourth among goalies in goals-against-average (1.48), tied for second in wins (3) and third alone in save percentage (.945) ... With 524 goals, Robitaille is the league's fifth-highest active scorer and tied for 21st all-time alongside former N.Y. Islander great Bryan Trottier. And, more importantly, he's positioned just 20 goals shy of the legendary Rocket Richard ... Injured C Jason Wiemer (knee) skated yesterday, an optional practice for the rest of the Flames ... L.A. is set to move into its new digs, the Staples Center, on Oct. 20, for the first sports event in the facility. A Bruce Springsteen concert is set to open it earlier in the week ... Flames will start Grant Fuhr in goal for the third consecutive game. Fuhr, a former King, and his mates have a win and a tie in their last two outings. On a personal note, Fuhr will be trying to nail down his 400th NHL career victory. He's sixth on the all-time list for goalie wins, trailing only Terry Sawchuk (447), Jacques Plante (434), Tony Esposito (423), Patrick Roy (414) and Glenn Hall (407) ... Calgary goaltender Tyler Moss cleared waivers yesterday and is waiting for reassignment.
