Kings' Peter Budaj: Outdueled in loss to Panthers

Budaj gave up three goals on 25 shots in Saturday's loss to the Panthers.

Analysis:

Budaj was outplayed by Roberto Luongo, who faced far more shots. With the loss, he drops to 26-18-3 on the season with a .915 save percentage. Budaj was on a roll recently, but things appear to be trending downwards, as this marks the fifth straight game he's given up at least three goals. The losses are piling up, but Budaj has been outstanding at times this season, so there's no reason to doubt a bounce-back.
