Hot Streak Kings to Face Struggling Ducks in California Rivalry

Kings' Road Prowess and Power Play Hindrance Meet Ducks' Penalty Troubles and Young Talent

Overview

  • The Los Angeles Kings, currently on a three-game winning streak, are set to face the Anaheim Ducks, who are on a four-game losing streak.
  • The Kings have lifted themselves up the divisional standings, sitting on 25 points through 17 games, trailing only the Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks.
  • Much of the Kings' success has been attributed to their road prowess and ability to hinder powerful power play units across the league.
  • The Ducks have struggled to win close games despite their early-season success coming in tight contests and have taken the most individual penalties of any team in the NHL with 107.
  • Young players like 20-year-old Mason McTavish and 18-year-old Leo Carlson continue to give the Ducks a chance each night, with McTavish leading the team with 10 goals and 20 points.
