Dustin Brown shrugged off the Los Angeles Kings clinching the playoffs for the fifth straight campaign. "With the evolution of this team, maybe four or five years ago, this was a big deal," Brown said. "Now, it's just part of the process. It's good to get it out of the way and get our game going. There's nothing to celebrate about making the playoffs. It's not a goal, it's an expectation." The Kings have a team capable of going far in the playoffs, but they'll have a tough time off the bat against their probable first round opponents, the San Jose Sharks.
