<p>Four <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/">Kings</a> registered a goal and an assist each in the Kings 5-2 win over the Red Wings on Wednesday night, sending Detroit to its fourth loss in five outings.</p>
<p>Los Angeles jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead before a <span>Jiri Hudler</span> goal early in the second period cut the deficit in half. It wasn't long before the Kings widened the gap again, however, as <span>Drew Doughty</span> put his team up 3-1 on what would be the eventual game-winning goal.</p>
<p><span>Johan Franzen</span> added the other Detroit tally, but the Wings defense had no answers for the Kings, who put four goals past <span>Jimmy Howard</span> on just 26 shots. </p>
<p>Detroit now stands seven points behind the Central Division-leading <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stlouisgametime.com/">Blues</a>. The Red Wings take the ice again on Wednesday night at Anaheim. </p>

<p>Ravaged by injuries, the Detroit Red Wings' back luck continued on Tuesday with a 5-2 loss to the Kings.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.wingingitinmotown.com/">Detroit Red Wings</a> will try to keep their chances of winning a division title alive when they head to L.A. to take on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/">Los Angeles Kings</a>.</p>
<p>Since winning six in a row in early- and mid-February, the Wings have dropped six of their last nine, most recently on Saturday with a 3-2 setback to Nashville.</p>
<p>The cold stretch has coincided with the best run of the year for fellow Central Division foe St. Louis, which has won five in a row and is 9-1-0 over its last 10. The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stlouisgametime.com/">Blues</a> now own the top spot in the division -- and conference -- with a 45-18-7 record and 97 points. Detroit is 44-22-3 with 91 points.</p>
<p>Unless they win the division, the Wings will likely be a No. 4 seed in the playoffs. Unless, of course, Nashville (89 points) sneaks past them in the division and conference standings. The Predators are a solid 7-2-1 over their last 10.</p>
<p>The good news: Detroit is 3-0 against L.A. this season and has outscored the Kings 16-6. Detroit scored a season-high eight goals against L.A. in a Dec.17 pummeling in Detroit. Oh, and the Wings expect to get <span>Jimmy Howard</span> back after missing three straight with a groin injury.</p>
<p>Tuesday's game will start at 10:30 ET and air on Fox Sports Detroit.</p>
