Pregnant Pause Stops Stevens

Despite extending his consecutive games scoring streak to five games with an assist in the Kings’ 3-2 victory at Toronto on Wednesday night, King left wing Kevin Stevens is looking forward to the time off for this weekend’s all-star break.

That’s because he and his wife, Suzanne, are expecting their first child next month.

“I’ll just sit home and relax because she’s 8 1/2 months pregnant,” Stevens said.
