Here are some photos taken during the pre-game skate at Staples Center on 04 April 2002 when the Detroit Red Wings came into Los Angeles to play the Kings. This was an important game for the Kings as they were trying to catch the San Jose Sharks for first place in the Pacific Division. Pre-game skate photos taken by Amy and Donna.
