LOS ANGELES -- After a three-day break, the Los Angeles Kings will try to make their way back to the winners circle as they host the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday at Staples Center.The Kings have been off since Sunday, when they were dealt a 5-4 loss in a shootout by the Montreal Canadiens. The Kings (13-10-2) were 5-0 in extra periods before Sundays setback.Six of the games goals, a season-tying four by the Kings, occurred in the second period and allowed Los Angeles to grab a 4-3 advantage before fading in the end. Nick Shore and Trevor Lewis also tallied for the Kings.The pucks were just going in; I dont know why that was, said Kings defenseman Drew Doughty, who scored on a power play during the barrage and earned his second multi-point game of the season. Both teams were flying and a couple times we got the lead and let them back in it and that was our downfall. When you get the lead, you want to get the next goal right away and kind of carry it away from them, but they were able to capitalize pretty quick after we got the lead.Center Jeff Carter, who scored a power-play goal against the Canadiens, continued his hot streak for the Kings, who have captured six of their last eight contests. Carter remains the clubs points leader with 21 (11 goals, 10 assists) and has been a steady force behind the teams recent fortunes along with linemates Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson.Center Anze Kopitar, who recorded three assists in the setback to the Canadiens, defenseman Alec Martinez, and Toffoli all have produced 14 points for the Kings.Kopitar, who has a club-high 12 assists, is two shy of 700 for his career. He also remains a goal away from tying Wayne Gretzky for sixth on the Kings all-time list with 245.The Hurricanes (10-10-6) are playing the second end of a back-to-back. The Hurricanes dropped a disappointing 6-5 shootout decision to the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night at Honda Center.Carolina held a 5-3 lead in the final five minutes of regulation before allowing Anaheim to score a pair of goals within 91 seconds of each other to force the extra sessions.Anaheims Nick Ritchie delivered his sixth goal by redirecting a slap shot by Cam Fowler from the blue line with 3:59 remaining. With 2:28 left, Corey Perry ended a drought of 18 consecutive games by scoring his fifth goal on a shot from the right circle to knot the score at 5.They worked their way through the neutral zone on us way too easy, Hurricanes defenseman Ron Hainsey said. Two of the goals were right off the rush, and the other one was tipped in.We do a really good job most of the time of clogging up the neutral zone and not giving up anything. But we got a little too free-flowing through the neutral zone and gave up some chances.The Hurricanes have lost six of their last eight games. Before their loss to the Ducks, Carolina scored no more than two goals in each of their previous seven road games.Drew Brees Jersey . 1, meaning problems for the doping controls at both major international sports events next year.

LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string.SEATTLE -- Chris Sale will make his first start in six days when the Chicago White Sox face the Seattle Mariners on Monday. This time, Sale will not be representing the White Sox, not the American League.The All-Star Game starter will be back on the mound to open the Seattle series, and the White Sox are going to need his A game if their offense continues to struggle like it did during the weekend sweep in Anaheim. Chicago (45-46) scored just one run in the series.Were not finding ways to manufacture runs or put the ball in play. Thats the frustrating part, White Sox third baseman Todd Frazier told the Chicago Tribune.The White Sox might find company in Seattles misery this week. The Mariners (46-46) scored just two runs over the final two games of the Houston series, and they have pretty much played their way out of contention in the American League West after a promising first two months of the season.Five runs in three games, thats not going to get it done, Mariners manager Scott Servais said after Sundays 8-1 loss to Houston. Weve got to do better than that.Seattles offense is only part of the problem as the Mariners pitching rotation continues to battle injuries.

Sale is having a typical season, but he is coming off his worst start of the season. The Atlanta Braves hit three home runs off Sale in a July 8 win over the White Sox, during which he allowed eight runs off 10 hits.Pretty embarrassing, Sale said after that performance, according to MLB.com. Its about as bad as I possibly think in a while. ' ' '
