Update: Goaltender Peter Budaj was named the NHL’s third star of the week after going 3-0-1 with a 1.62 goals-against average, a .930 save percentage and two shutouts. Budaj is 25-15-3 with a 2.02 goals-against average, a .920 save percentage and a league-leading seven shutouts in place of injured No. 1 goalie Jonathan Quick. … The Kings’ five-game winning streak ended Sunday with a 5-0 loss to the league-leading Washington Capitals. Budaj gave up four goals on 15 shots before Jeff Zatkoff replaced him to start the third period. … The Kings are 27-22-4 overall, but only 12-14-3 on the road. … The Kings placed forward Jordan Nolan on injured reserve Sunday because of a leg injury. They have not had their projected lineup healthy and on the ice for a single shift this season. Quick was hurt in the opening period of the season-opening game Oct. 12, for instance. … Jeff Carter leads the Kings with 27 goals and 47 points. Nikita Kucherov has 19 goals and 47 points for Tampa Bay, which has a lackluster 23-24-6 record after a 3-2 shootout win Saturday over the Ducks.
