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.
