Following the Kings-Phoenix game on Oct. 3, the Kings will host San Jose (Oct. 6) and Minnesota (Oct. 8) before the team leaves for a season-high six game road trip. In all the Kings have six home games in Oct. and five home games in Nov. (compared to nine last season). Nov. is also highlighted by a visit by the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins on Nov. 5, Philadelphia on Nov. 18 and Chicago on Nov. 28.

The month of Dec. features two Saturday home games – the Kings in all play 16 home games on Saturdays versus 13 last season – and the Kings open up the new calendar year with the Washington Capitals on Jan. 2. Five days later the Kings open up a season-high seven-game homestand that features Detroit, the Stanley Cup runner-ups (Jan. 7), the Ducks (Jan. 14) in the first of their three visits to STAPLES Center, Boston (Jan. 16) and two trips by San Jose, last year’s Presidents’ Trophy winners (Jan. 11 and 19).

Feb. features six Kings games overall as the NHL will again participate in the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. The month begins with home games against the New York Rangers (Feb. 2), the Ducks (Feb. 4) and the Red Wings (and Feb. 6), and the Kings will play the entire month in the state of California (the only road game is at Anaheim on Feb. 8).

March features 15 games with seven games set for STAPLES Center, including Montreal (March 6), Chicago (March 18) and the New York Islanders (March 20). The Kings play four of their final six regular season games at STAPLES Center, with all four games at STAPLES Center featuring clubs from the Western Conference. The Kings’ final regular season home game (April 10 against Edmonton) is on a Saturday to mirror the club’s season/home opening Saturday home date.

The Kings conclude the 2009-10 regular season in Colorado on April 11.
