Looking to rebound after a 2-1 loss in Anaheim on Saturday, the Ottawa Senators instead got buried 4-1 by the Los Angeles Kings.

It was so bad the Kings chased starter Craig Anderson after he allowed four goals on 26 shots through two periods. Alex Auld finished.

The Monday night game at the Staples Centre attracted a capacity crowd of 18,118.

The Senators play their last game before the all-star break on Tuesday in Phoenix. They'll have a short night, because they lose an hour in time difference travelling from Pacific to Mountain time. But they'll have to find the energy to avoid heading out on vacation on a three-game losing streak."
