Los Angeles Kings Preview
Los Angeles is averaging 2.63 goals per game while allowing 3.25. The power play is at 27.3%, but the penalty kill has struggled at 68.6%. The Kings are about even in shots, taking 28.8 per game and allowing 28.3, but most convert better as LA is not scoring enough through eight games.
Adrian Kempe has been their most reliable scorer with 11 points, including four goals and seven assists. Kevin Fiala has seven points, and Quinton Byfield has added eight. With Anze Kopitar out, Phillip Danault’s line has had more pressure to control the offense and fall back to play defense. The Kings have won two straight but need more scoring and fewer penalties to keep the momentum going.

Chicago is scoring 3.13 goals per game and allowing 2.38. The power play has connected on 18.5% of chances, and the penalty kill has been solid at 83.8%. The Blackhawks have been outshot on average, but continue to limit open shots on goal.
