Goaltender Jamie Storr’s shutout streak ended Wednesday when he gave up a first-period goal to Phoenix’s Ramzi Abid. But don’t think the Kings are complaining. Storr, who had not allowed a


goal in more than five periods, was good when he had to be against the Coyotes, especially in the second period when he stuffed several close-range shots to keep the Kings ahead, 2-1. After


sitting behind starter Felix Potvin for almost three seasons, Storr is getting his chance with Potvin on the injured list because of a knee injury. “It’s just a great opportunity for him,”


Coach Andy Murray said about Storr, who made 31 saves in the Kings’ 4-3 victory over Phoenix. “He’s been waiting a long time for this. I’ve tried not to talk to him and put too much pressure


on him. “I’m not worried about Jamie. [Goaltending consultant] Andy [Nowicki] does a great job, and I know that they’ve talked about it. Jamie is pretty cool and I know that he’s confident


in his ability.” * Enforcer Ryan Flinn, recalled from Manchester of the American Hockey League on Tuesday, needed only 3:38 to get into his first fight when he and Phoenix winger Andrei


Nazarov battled to a draw. Flinn, who had four points and 95 penalty minutes in 25 games for Manchester, became a fan favorite because of his aggressive style last season in 10 games with


the Kings. -- Lonnie White MORE TO READ
