The Los Angeles Kings hope to avoid a third straight setback to begin the season on Sunday night as they kick off a six-game homestand against the Winnipeg Jets. Pat Connaughton Jersey . The defending Stanley Cup champions have had a tough go early on. The Kings were shut out at home by San Jose 4-0 on Wednesday and then suffered a 3-2 overtime setback to Arizona on Saturday night. Tyler Toffoli, who had an assist, took a hooking penalty with 1:19 to play in overtime and Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson was able to cash in as his drive from the right wing beat a screened Jonathan Quick with 14 seconds on the clock. Tanner Pearson and Jeff Carter lit the lamp for the Kings, while Quick took the loss despite turning away 37 pucks. They took advantage of their opportunities in the first period and the second period they played strong, said Los Angeles head coach Darryl Sutter. The third period I thought there was a lot more back and forth. Los Angeles, which played without forward Trevor Lewis and defenseman Jake Muzzin due to upper-body injuries, are again off to a slow start following a championship. The Kings began defense of their title in 2012-13 with an 0-2-1 mark.

Winnipeg was short handed eight times in the game, though it did not allow San Jose to score on the power play, and saw defenseman Dustin Byfuglien get a game misconduct at 10:24 of the third as he slammed his stick on the way to the penalty box after a call. There was some frustration that got built over the first 30 minutes, but we cant spend so much time in the penalty box, Jets head coach Paul Maurice said. Winnipeg will conclude its road trip without forward Evander Kane, who suffered a knee injury in the season opener, and begins a five-game homestand on Friday.

His competitive career, too. The Russian star retired Thursday just after he withdrew from the mens event at the Sochi Olympics for medical reasons. The 31-year-old Plushenko is the only modern-era figure skater to win medals in four Olympics. He helped Russia win the team gold over the weekend. "I think its God saying, Evgeni, enough, enough with skating," said Plushenko, who originally was hurt in a training session Wednesday. "Age, its OK. But I have 12 surgeries. Id like to be healthy." In warmups before the short program, he fell on a triple axel and said it felt "like a knife in my back." He skated toward his coaches while bent over, then tried to loosen up by skating around the Iceberg rink some more. He then attempted another axel and botched it, shook his head and consulted with coach Alexei Mishin. When Plushenkos name was announced to the crowd seconds later -- to loud applause -- he skated to the event referee and withdrew. Before the latest injury, Plushenko said he planned to go out in style. "I said to myself, Evgeni, you must skate. Its two more days, short and long program," the 2006 Olympic gold medallist saaid.

He was Russias only man in the competition, so the host country will have no finisher in the event. Plushenko finished second at the Russian national championships and didnt appear headed for Sochi at all. He was added to the Russian roster late last month after a trial run-through in front of federation officials convinced them he was the countrys best mens option. That decision paid off when he finished second in the team short program and first in the free skate, helping Russia to its first gold of the Sochi Games. In that final full practice Wednesday, he fell three times, but was laughing and joking with Mishin after two of the flops. Mishin even said Plushenko was "ready" for the mens event. That changed Thursday, and when Plushenko limped out of the arena, the cheers turned to mild applause from the stunned audience. "Some people say we had this plan from the very beginning, but we did not," he said. "We were going to go to the end. If I really wished to withdraw after the tem event, I would have." ' ' '
