Alec Martinez and Derek Forbort often have a contest where the winner is usually the one with the most ice packs strapped to their body after a game. The Kings rank 17th as a team in blocked shots (the Ducks are ninth), but have three of the top 12 blockers in Martinez, Forbort and Jake Muzzin. Martinez has set the example, taking shots off his legs and chest and wherever else he can sacrifice. “He just can just focus on short-side shots,” Martinez said. Hurricanes coach Mark Richt discusses the loss to Pitt, which snapped Miami's 15-game win streak and may have dealt their national championship hopes a blow.
